Game is locked at 60fps
Hello everyone, i have turned off vsync in nvidia control panel, set bdo to launch in fullscreen mode and disabled every optimization option but my frame rate is always capped at 60fps. Please help me, thank you.

Edit: some ppl tell me that the game caps at my monitor refresh rate, which is 60Hz. But based on what i saw, many people with 60Hz monitor still manage to get the game runs at >60fps.

Uh people usually complain BECAUSE a game makes more FPS than the Monitor displays, thus overheats the hardware and wastes energy.
You literally cannot see more frames.

?

True, but i just want to make things clear. The fact that i turned vsync off should make the game run at no fps cap, but its still there, so something might be wrong. Moreover, i dont want to get input lag from vsync

You have to play in full screen + high end mode for it to go over 60FPS. You won't see a difference though as your monitor is 60Hz. 60Hz = 60FPS = 60 frames per second refresh rate, anything above that won't be fully rendered.

Yep, my game runs in full screen, i even switched to remastered, nothing changed. FPS stays at 60, sad.

1. Go into settings and switch to "Full Screen"
2. Select Remastered or Ultra mode
3. Exit game completely.
4. Launch client
5. In the launcher, press the gear icon and make sure it says full screen and Remastered.

If you changed to Full Screen but didn't restart the client then it will still cap at 60. As long as you have the hardware for above 60FPS you should be able to get over 60FPS using these steps.

Im using steam, so everytime i try to launch the game it doesnt show up any launcher but goes straight to the main menu, how can i use the launcher thing.
End yes, i exited the game manually and launched again, no luck.
#Edit: Does the "low power option" mess with my frame rate? Because it always turns itself on despite that i have turned it off many times.

It doesn't matter if you select ultra or remastered mode or any of the graphic presets

1. Set bdo to "Exclusive fullscreen mode"
2. Now disabling vsync for bdo in nvidia control panel will take effect

The game will go up to 100-140fps for me but its very micro-stuttery without vsync off. It's not lag its a weird microstutter

bdo's built in vsync is honestly pretty damn good. It feels as responsive as vsync off

Thank you for all of your responses, but i guess i must give up now.
I can confirm that vsync is already turned off both in global setting and the bdo profile itself, and i have done everything i could, sad.

I am also wondering why BDO cant pull full fps in window mode and only does so when in fullscreen.
vsync is disabled in nvidia control panel and in the game I cant find any vsync option so far.

No time to read everything.. but..
60hz monitor caps the game at 60fps in window mode if u want more u have to play fullscreen. Or get another monitor 🤷‍♂️ pretty sure that hasnt changed

know i'm late to the party but some things you need to know about the settings in this game :)
1: Don't bother with the settings in the main menu when game launches they never ever stick, Each character has sort of it's own display settings/key binds :)
2: You have to load into a character and be in the game world, then set all your display and any game settings you want to change by clicking escape then settings at the top, once changed you have to disconnect from game world and exit game, when reloaded your settings are applied :)
3: You have to be above I think it's lvl 15 before the game will store your game settings and you need to be above lvl 7 before you can edit the games UI :)

As for the above the 60 fps if you are using a 60hz monitor..... why? just why? are you trying to force more than 60 fps, all that does is heat up your gpu over working it for no reason because any fps above 60fps are being returned to the GPU as unable to be rendered or missed frame and forcing the gpu to resend over and over, I refer you back to the 1st post of this thread :)

Well yes, but those 60 frames you see will be more accurate regarding data what's happening now on the screen and not only in the 60 frames window but window as many frames as PC can produce/
