FPS cap?
I play on 144 hz monitor and playing in 60 fps doesn't feel as smooth as 144. Any way to uncap it?

yes but be warned. skyrims old engine does not like fps above 60. your ingame physics will bug out like crazy if you do this unless you tweak the engine yourself. this means no support from makers as they said they cannot support such changes to the files as its simply impossible for them to test every single physic event in the whole mod for bugs due to that.

so the answer is no then :) I remember flipping horses in normal skyrim when playing in 144 fps

you CAN play at above 60 fps. all i said its not recommenced as you MIGHT get into trouble with that during the mod. since you can recap your fps if that happens the risk isnt too big. all i said is that the makers cannot make sure the mod works properly with this kind of change simply due to skyrims old engine limits.

oh hell yeah. FLIP THAT HORSE ! saw that one aswell myself. kingdom comes flying stuck horses where better tough XD (rip hilarious bug)

Can someone point me in the right direction to what the INI files are calledin Enderal?

You are easily able to counter the physics issues with changing the update intervals providing your higher FPS is steady.

However I can't find the regular skyrim ini files in Enderal folder.

You find the INIs in the Enderal Launcher.
Simply go to the "Settings" > "Other" tab and click there on the respective buttons.

A textfield will open with the respective INI loaded. Do your changes and save them. :)

the .ini files can be accessed via the launcher, however I can not get the frames to uncap following these settings

I am unsure specifically if the iVsyncPresentInterval needs to be somewhere specific in the .ini as it does not say but the other two are in specific places.

I cannot help you further unfortunately, as I have no clue about.

I capped them to 30 FPS with Nvidia Inspector as of playing in 4K.
Furthermore, Enderal already reaches the limits of the engine on 1920x1080@60, so I personally won't recommend unlocking the frames.

Yet if you really want to, I hope you find a solution. :/

Its actually bothering me I have done everything both in the Steam folder ini files and the inis in the launcher and no dice

iVSyncPresentInterval=0
bLockFrameRate=0
iPresentInterval=0

nothing in either of the 4 .ini files has any effect.

I will just try playing at 60 fps but it's really too fast on my eyes and blurred

you have to disable one tweak or it will overwrite any changes you pull.

Not exactly sure what you are saying?

in the enderal launcher you can find a button thats called onetweak. its enabled by default. press it once to disable it. it prevents your changes from takeing effect. it also forces your game to run in borderless window mode.

Massive thank you, that cleared everything up instantly and works.

With a 8700k and 1080 the FPS were a bit jumpy around 120-140 with some lows of 100, I think I will try this at 90 fps, even though ive gone through 144hz and now using 240hz for FPS gaming I really only desire a good 80 fps for SP games, it is much smoother on my eyes and enjoyment. I suggest being modest in your attempts at higher FPS.

For anyone else who wants to try I used the following links, I just searched .ini in the Enderal steam folder but I don't think that was even needed as Just Chill mentioned above you can do it in the launcher under settings -> others

I will use RivaTuner to cap FPS, commonly found with MSI Afterburner.

If anyone has any issues after a decent attempt I can more comprehensively write what to do, just quote me here and I should get a notification.

Different timings depending on targeted FPS

According the developer, the game breaks if you go over 60 fps. I can confirm this. Don't do it.
