144hz Fix / Unlock FPS above 62 FPS

[Evono]

Step One

Locate your Engine.ini It should be under C:\Users\*Your User*\AppData\Local\AVGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Open engine.ini

add

[/script/engine.engine]
bSmoothFrameRate=false

and it should be Uncapped now.

Dont forget to set engine.ini Write protected.

the reason this game is Limited to 62 fps the devs activated smoothing and the standard range is 30-60 fps ( they didnt change the standard settings ) thats it.

Same tweaks works for the game "Dauntless" Too.

Nice, thanks. Its pretty disappointing to have to configure something like this through the game files, 60 fps has been obsolete on PC gaming for a decade.

nah a decade isnt . probably like 1-2 years ? before that was 60 fps still the majority and 144fps very expensive and the minority. but 100 hz + is now more and more.

What about turning off mouse acceleration

Iam not sure. this thread is about the FPS lock. just google around probably you find a fix.

Thanks for the help. This prompted me to look at the ini file and it would seem that changing 'FrameRateLimit=0.000000' to your desired FPS limit, so for my case: 'FrameRateLimit=163.000000'. This appears to work for me - is there a reason I should not use this method and use your suggestion? Genuinely curious and not suggesting my way is better!

I guess my way is atleast somehow "intended" aka Fps Smoothing and Limiting is on i didnt try your way. not that the game gets bugs or issues without the smoothing .

You could try and report.

Damn that was a fast reponse! So I would be better off going with your method - I would gain a smoother framerate as well as raising the FPS?

Going out on a limb and suggest that there's probably a reason they didn't unlock 144hz if it's so easily fixable.

Edit: Just in case you all decide to open a topic when the game shows issues.

Exactly . thats why i atleast gone the way with Smoothing on .my mate plays now that way and looks for issues before i buy. he didnt find any yet

but Dauntless had the same 62 FPS lock and works flawless Unlocked too. i guess just a weird way

You know this actually did cross my mind. You may be right. I guess if we have issues after we can always revert back to troubleshoot before raising a topic.

Normally, you'd probably be right... but this is an Unreal Engine game.

Unreal Engine rarely has framerate related bugs. It's locked to 62 because they enabled framerate smoothing, which by default targets between 22 and 62 if I remember correctly. It's been around since Unreal Engine 3, and becomes quite annoying when games like Mass Effect 2 have an encrypted INI for some reason. I usually disable FPS smoothing altogether.

It's just a default selected with the majority of players in mind-- it'll smooth out sudden framerate drops and clean up framepacing problems. 144Hz+ monitors are a very small minority among Steam users.

It's the same reason behind why Kingdom Come was locked to 31 FPS on consoles; they went with the default setting for CryEngine with that game, and it turned out to be a bit of a problem.

Someone else posted this in another thread

Hello everyone. Go to:
%localappdata%\AVGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

Then add in the following lines to the bottom of the file:
bEnableMouseSmoothing=false
bViewAccelerationEnabled=false

I have heard some people say that this doesn't work because the game deletes these lines. If this is happening to you, go ahead and right-click the file and go to PROPERTIES, and then check the READ ONLY button. This fixed all of my mouse issues, and I hope it helps anyone that is/was having this problem too.

[Figureight]

These technics didnt work for me. I tried these two technics but well, they did not work... Please help me. I see 62 fps. Still.. I did read-only.

60 FPS IS GOOD. WHY DONT YOU ALL STOP ACTING LIKE 60 FPS WAS 24. JESUS. serious;y
