Lock at 60 fps
I don't understand why they have to set an FPS cap. I didn't buy my 144hz monitor to play at 60 fps

Yeah, that control port of you buddy.

cuz the game and the animation was made for 60 fps? no? play cs go or dota to have 144 fps animation.

There is locked Vsync. Wait for DS3fix which will probably be soon

So by your logic developer should just limit all their game to the same ♥♥♥♥ as console. Why should they Implement different coding for PC player right

You don't seem to understand how Dark Souls games work. Literally everything is tied to the frame rate. It wouldn't work at 144hz. I have a 144hz monitor too but I'm not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it because I understand how this game works. There won't be a DSFix for this because there's nothing wrong with it on any PC built in the last two to three years and the framerate will never be unlocked to 144 because it would break literally everything in the game.

Get the ♥♥♥♥ over it.

DSFix never got a single person banned, ever. It literally can't in the way that it works.

While it kinda sucks, as others have said, 60FPS cap is because of From's habit with tying gameplay to frames. At higher framerates, it can cause strange behaviors. You can see evidence of this with DS1, where some jumps become impossible at 60FPS. And in the original DS2 release, with the double durability weardown per strike.

It sucks that it works that way, but I guess it's probably easier or more precise than other means?

Btw you can't notice fps differences around 60 fps, going higher than 60 is useless.

Unless your monitor supports higher than 60hz its noticeable

Since when 60 fps is not enough? Give a so called "PC master race" user any reason to whine and he will. It's like hearing that 3rd person action games needs FOV.... don't be surprised I really read it on a lame forum, and people were agreeing to that....

Guys its possible to set your monitor to 144hz if you have a nvidia card, just lock it to 144hz for this game in the control settings. You will only have 60 fps, but still 144hz.. and for me that made sense todo as my color profile is messedup for 60hz. So no its not vsync bound.

Sorry but its a myth or ignorance that you cant notice differences in higher Framerates, you can clearly notice differences between 30, 60 and 120+ Fps with Screens supporting that. It would take an hour to describe everything why DS3 uses this and whats the good and bad sides for both ways and how everything works. In the end its up to the Developers and how their Engine works aswell as that the standard is still 60 Fps whats good in my opinion because it isnt too wonky and it isnt too fluid.

Also you cant blame the Developers because they didnt build up the Game on your dreams and wishes, you can talk for months and this wouldnt change the fact that this Game is the result of the Developers mind. Its Art, same as Pictures, Books, Music and Movies its still Art, its not a subject to change in matter of different opinions and favorites. You now have two options, accept the Art and enjoy it or dont accept it and go for something else and yes techincal features do count as Art for Games, Movies and Music.
