FPS LIMIT 60 ?

[Calisto997]

Hello,
I am new to this game, wanted to try it out, fps is locked on 60, my monitor is 360hz, it is impossible to play it because it feels like 20-30 fps, I tried to unlock it which works fps goes above 400 but game is much faster, can I unlock FPS without speeding up the game? thank you

You would have to use mods, yes. But wait until the update tomorrow. Then we have to assess the state of mods and wait and see.

Use ENBs and edit the enb files in the directory. u can choose the fps limit that u prefer.

Yep , It's better if u wait tomorrow like this guys say cause lots of people will have to rebuild the modpack, like me xD

There's a mod to fix that, but it needs F4SE & that will break tomorrow after the update.
You can block the update wait & see how bad the damage is tomorrow to keep playing with outdated version by launching it via F4SE.

Do you have the option to set your monitor to 60 Hz until you can use the High FPS Fix mod?

I managed to set it on steady 144hz through Nvidia Control Panel.Game Speed is normal.I am fine as long as its above 100hz.Thank you guys

If you run into problems then you can also use the control panel to limit the fps of Fallout 4 in the application settings.

Here is some more info:

I honestly never understood people's crave for more fps. Anything more than 60 is literally the same thing and you wouldn't notice if it was 60 fps or 500

sounds like someone doesn't have a high refresh rate monitor let me guess the human eye can only see 60fps huh?

not really, but there is some truth to it, the higher it becomes the less noticeable it gets.
for example the difference between 30-60 feels bigger than 60-90.

But there is a difference, when I got the mod to remove the 60fps limit i could actually notice it when it suddenly played in 120+ fps.

Also this. I have seen it way too much where people either don't have a monitor with higher refresh rate than 60Hz, or just forgot to change it to be higher than 60 (for some reason a lot of high refresh monitors are still set to 60hz by default), then ofc they wont see the difference.

most people can't even perceive 60fps and make use of that split second reaction advantage.

i cap my fps to 60 on the driver side with specific games having even lower fps caps because they bug out at 60fps.

When I sit at Windows and want to click on an icon, the first thing I do is to shake the mouse. Why? Because I cannot find the pointer. Once I have found it I move the mouse over the screen, do not take my eyes off the pointer so I do not lose it, and move it onto the icon. Sometimes, I have to correct my movement because I overshoot. This takes me somewhere between 1-3 seconds to click on an icon. It is because I am old - my eyesight is fading, my brain is developing atrophy, and my muscles are losing elasticity.

A young person can spot a mouse pointer from 3m away. They move the mouse pointer over 1000 pixels within 300ms onto a 10x10 surface - a letter in a text - and hit it dead on.

This has little to do with the eyes being tricked into seeing motion, which happens at around 20-25 fps. It is about the precision of our hand-eye coordination being able to trigger a muscle movement with a timing of just 3ms.

Moving the mouse in a 3D game, and thereby the field of view, within 300ms by 1000 pixels, and being able to move a crosshair onto a 10x10 area with some success, requires more than 60fps. At 60fps a GPU renders 18 frames in 300ms, chopping up a 1000-pixel movement into 55.6 pixels on average. For our hand-eye coordination to hit a 10x10 surface dead on when it jumps by 55.6 pixels is simply impossible. It becomes a matter of random chance. To repeatedly hit the 10x10 area in such a movement requires ~333fps.

This is why young players want 300+ Hz monitors and lots of FPS. They may not know why they want it, but every time their hand-eye coordination hits that spot their brain releases endorphins and they want to do it again.

I keep my card globally capped at 60 since I've never had a monitor/TV above 60 Hz, haha. It's good enough for me, though. Feels smooth as glass.

Glad you got it worked out.

Yes, it's possible to unlock the frame rate via this mod[www.nexusmods.com] without having the physics go crazy. One thing to keep in mind is that Fallout 4 has really wonky bugs related high refresh rates. It literally does cap you to around 16-20 fps sometimes on refresh rates above 144 Hz. It happened to me a couple times. If you cap the frame rate to 60 in your drivers, that might help.
