Issues fixed
Smoothed frame rate
- Many Unreal Engine 3 games use frame rate smoothing with a default value of 62. Users with a PC strong enough to maintain stable framerates above 60 may want to change or disable this.
- Minimizes lag spikes and provides smoother gameplay overall with any monitor regardless of the refresh rate.[4]
- Frame rate won't exceed a specified value and has a small impact on the overall frame rate which may not be ideal on a lower end gaming PC or when benchmarking.[5]
- High frame rates may affect in-game logic in certain games, leading to various glitches of varying severity. See each game's individual entry page for details.
- If you'd like to raise frame rate smoothing cap:
Raise frame rate smoothing cap[citation needed] |
---|
|
- If you'd like to disable frame rate smoothing:
Disable frame rate smoothing[citation needed] |
---|
|
- If you experience screen tearing you may want to use regular V-sync or a frame rate cap rather than changing smoothing.
- Some games reset the values to default after game starting, setting file to "read-only" prevents this but some games may crash because of this. Please refer to the specific article for each game to see if setting its config files to "read-only" is needed.
No surround sound
