[SOLVED] Game runs too fast?

[11hunter22]

So I got a new Pc and wanted to play some fallout 4, but the game runs super fast, especially inside of buildings. The movement speed of my character and of the enemies is just unbearable.
How do I fix this? On my old PC it worked just fine.

I looked it up on the internet, but since i got a Radeon RX 5700 I dont know how to limit FPS or whatever i got to do.
iPresentInterval is set to 1.

Ensure you don't have it set mora than once in the .ini. They are loaded in this order:
Fallout4.ini
Fallout4Prefs.ini
Fallout4Custom.ini

You should only do manual changes in Fallout4Custom.ini, just in case you already modified some of them.

If nothing works use an external program: Riva Tuner Statistics Server has frame limiter for example.

If u have a high refresh rate monitor this game breaks because bethesda for some stupid reason decided to tie half the game mechanics to the frame rate which devs should have stopped doing years ago. Limit your framerate with some software or turn down ur monitors refresh rate

It's because the physic engine will break the game. Game is forced to only be played at 60 fps because of this issue. Game speeding up is annoying.

Same goes for many games where the physic engine can't be stable pass 60 to 90 fps. I keep my game running at 72 fps and lowed shadow settings. Don't have many fps drops, well besides in downtown Boston area. Get hit with 20 fps then back to stable 72 (144hz monitor too)

It's actually NOT stupid. More frames per second means more rendering power means more strain on the engine. If the game was built for 60 FPS, it should be played that way. Gamers keep trying to outsmart the game because FPS is SOOO important.

Solved. Disabled Radeon Enhanced Sync (fancy way of saying vsync i guess) , and voila.
Thanks for helping me

Enhanced Sync enables low latency gameplay at virtually any framerate and a tear-free experience when your favorite game’s framerate exceeds your display’s refresh rate. (At least that's what AMD says anyway.) With vsync disabled and when fps exceeds your monitor's refresh rate (Hz) screen tearing occurs. With vsync enabled then fps is capped to monitor's Hz. The type of syncing fps to your monitors refresh rate has to be one of the following: Freesync, Enhanced Sync or Vsync. (AMD only, Nvidia has a different setup.)

Help? I dont know excatly what i did. My FPS was capped at a steady 3rd of my monitor, at 34 ish. My monitor is 144 hz. Then i just fiddled in Nvidia 3d settings until the game now is at steady 72 FPS (half ?). But then i stopped as there is no more screan tearing and the game seems stable.

At some fiddeling the game went crazy and got to 750 + FPS. Made me scared.....

The game is made to be run at 60fps. Rule of thumb is 1hz per fps. Something in your hardware settings (possibly vsync) is causing the game to run at a different speed because of the refresh rate of your monitor.

I saw lots of people having the same problems I did where the game was significantly sped up and the screen tearing was horrendous. After a bunch of troubleshooting, I managed to fix the issue.

First, I had to set my monitor's refresh rate to 60 instead of 144. This fixed the sped up problem. I've seen other people say you can download RivaTuner and use it to lock you global FPS cap to 60, and that should work as well.

After that, I still had a bunch of screen tearing. And nothing I did would fix it, until I found in my AMD Control Panel, the option to disable Frame Generation. (7900 XT). I know AMD Has Frame Gen too in the 4000-series GPUs and I dont know how you disable it, but it should be in the nvidia control panel somewhere. Doing this solved both the Screen Tearing issue and the game playing too fast, though it was funny to be Sanic the fallout man.

here's something:

First, look at the date when the thread was created. It's 4 years old.

Then, make your own thread about this.
