Essential improvements
Visual fidelity (unofficial patch)
- A set of widescreen, FOV, HUD and text rendering fixes for Chrome and Chrome SpecForce. Enables native support for higher resolutions and Hor+ FOV. Also includes files to disable mouse acceleration, LOD switching and increase draw distance. Download from Mod DB.
Limit FPS
You should limit the FPS to 60, otherwise problems can arise, like "slippery / sliding" movement.[5][6][7] Use a tool like Rivatuner Statistics Server or your GPU tool for that and apply a 60 FPS limit on ChromeSingle.exe. Alternatively, force VSync if it leads to the same outcome for your monitor.
