60FPS limit?
« on: February 27, 2018, 07:38:30 PM »

I noticed my game cannot go above 60-62 FPS.

It makes the game look particularly choppy on my 72 Hz monitor.

No mods and same result with all resolutions.

Hmm, that's a bit odd - this means that the graphics driver is running the game at 60 fps, since by default vsync is on and that's what determines the framerate. It's possible you might be able to adjust some driver settings to get it to run at 72 fps with vsync.

Alternatively, if you open up data/config/settings.json with a text editor, these two settings are relevant:

"vsync":true,
"fps":60, # fps only used if vsync is false

If you set vsync to false and fps to 72, you should get a framerate of 72, but without vsync, so there may be some screen tearing.

Well that worked. Nice and smooth now.

Wonder why it limited itself before.

Were you playing windowed or fullscreen-windowed?

Tried both.
