Is 60fps unplayable in 2D game O.O?

That isn't the point, it should run at 144hz. Mine does, so should his. 144hz vs 60 is like day vs night, regardless of the game.

Tried forcing it through the graphics control panel?

Odd problem for you, considering it works fine for me V-Sync'd to 120hz, if I'm remembering correctly. I'd have to double check next time I play, but I'm 89% sure it v-syncs properly.

You have to set your monitor to the refresh rate via gpu control panel for it to register ingame. v sync can be sketchy with input lag at times so I would also edit your fps cap which can be found here: \Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Config.ini and set FrameRateCap to 144

Just gonna ask

Are you *sure* it's outputting 60? Because apparently "by default" the game outputs at 400fps. I had to manually edit the .ini so it would stop constantly using 100% of my GPU power. Edited it so that framecap was at 80 (picked because 60 was giving me stutters and I wondered if it should have a cleanly divisible framerate from its default) dropped it to like 70~% GPU use

Anyway, you can find config.ini in \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data. If it's already defaulted to 400 I imagine something's wrong on your end, either it's being automatically limited or whatever youre using to read fps is just lying.

Or maybe the code of the game is lying, never know with how messy code can be, but I cant imagine that's the case since me editing that number did help my issues, so idk.

I mostly just wanted to reply to this thread, so long after the fact, because it's really funny to me to see someone be bothered by "60fps lock" when I had to turn the fps down to a number higher than 60.

your reply helps me out! i was rather annoyed being unable to cap the fps and burning my gpu. at this point it might be hard to drop 144fps now that i'm used to it but we'll see what happens

fwiw, the setting in the config might depend on when you first installed the game. When I opened the configuration file, the max FPS was set to -1, which made the frame rate limiting completely broken. It might be that at some point the default was 60 FPS (and it was changed to 400 later) and that value stuck around for some people.

had to turn off g-sync to unlock it

Also having this issue but game locked itself at 30 fps on a 120Hz monitor? Game previously ran at 60 while laptop wasn't plugged in and my battery is near full, power settings for performance not helping.

[yaoi man]

Solution was to reduce blur quality to medium. Did not have this issue before today, I cannot explain why it randomly locked to 30. Game would previously run 90-ish with integrated graphics.

EDIT: Game no longer runs at 60 fps with medium blur, resetting to high and restarting.

You may try these:
✅ in hollow_knight_Data/Config.ini set the FrameRateCap to 120
✅ in game options turn VSync OFF and use Fullscreen YES
✅ make sure in Windows Settings > Display > Graphics Settings Hollow_Knight.exe always uses your dedicated Video Card instead of the integrated one (add it to the list)

I generally recommend Medium Blur quality. High is very intensive for the GPU.

So I have a 144hz monitor and would like to utilize it. However everytime I launch the game it's capped at 60 fps. I've tried turning the frame cap off, turning off v-sync, changing my resolution, reinstalling the game, and going into the config files to change the framerate cap. If anyone has a solution to my problem, please inform me how to fix this issue.

First, sorry about my english.
4-5 years later but somebody could read this. It happened to me with warzone, capped at 60 fps... it took me weeks to figure out what was the problem. It was Xbox DVR activated (seems like xbox app need the game at 60 fps to make a clip). So, turn this option off.
