Graphics settings? Specifically Vsync

[Race(imaztion)]

I'm seriously enjoying this game, and plan to pick up the sequel, but I'm having some slight stutter and I've noticed that it's locked to 60fps, which is the refresh rate of my monitor.

Is there a setting I can change somewhere to disable v-sync? I've never actually run into a game in at least the last five years that actually worked better with v-sync enabled, and don't care if they reach 240fps, despite my monitor not being able to keep up.

A quick glance through the game's folder doesn't show up any particular files that have this setting in them.

Maybe an issue with your rig. On my end and some of my friends everything works fine.

Still, you could try to force disabling VSync for this application via drivers. Nvidia can do it over the Nvidia controls and the 3D settings. Don't change it in the global settings, only for this application. You don't want this to produce weird behaviours on other games.

I know enough games that have issues without VSync (tearing). The CryTek engine can also fail to produce massive 1 second stutterings if you unlock FPS. This is due to not forcing the Windows Timer Resolution to high-media-performance. Though it can be bypassed by another application, like the Origin client, that will force the 1ms Windows Timer Resolution on all application if the client is loaded as TSR.

The difficulty here is that I'm not actually running Windows here, I'm actually running Linux, which not only has a different graphics system, but also a different process scheduler, which has a significant impact on how games play.

The Steam Proton compatibility layer has made it run (otherwise) flawlessly on Linux, along with at least 70% of the rest of my Steam game library. There's only a few games I have to tweak things for, and only maybe five games that still don't work properly, for one reason or another.
(I don't have a license for the version of Windows I want, and haven't been able to locate a reliable place to buy one yet)

Fortunately, somebody has written a guide for disabling V-Sync in Proton that works perfectly:

Hey thanks for this, the solution is still valid here in 2025. Might be useful on steam deck too.
