Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Maximum selectable refresh rate is 60 Hz. This does not limit FPS, but may set the monitor's refresh rate to 100 Hz, which may result in screen tearing on a 120 or 144 Hz monitor.
Set fullscreen refresh rate[citation needed]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\system .
- Open
Unreal2.ini .
- Find this line:
DesiredRefreshRate=60 .
- Change the value to set your monitors refresh rate. For example 120 or 144.
Notes
- Modifying any video options will undo the custom refresh rate.
