Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Max refresh rate is 60 Hz; this does not affect game render FPS, but determines the monitor's refresh rate.
Set refresh rate manually[citation needed]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
ideo.scr with a text editor.
- Change
MaxRefresh(60) to the screen refresh rate.
|
Possible fix for 60Hz cap[citation needed]
|
- Create a custom resolution using the graphics card's control panel, so that only one resolution with that specific refresh rate exists. For example: on a 1080p monitor, create a desktop resolution of 1920x1079 with a refresh rate of 144 or 240 or 360 (or any value).
- Set that specific resolution in the game; since only that specific instance of that specific resolution exists, the game will force a specific refresh rate.
