Issues fixed
Smoothed frame rate
- Many Unreal Engine 3 games use frame rate smoothing with a default value of 62. Users with a strong enough PC 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.[1]
- 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.[2]
- If you'd like to raise frame rate smoothing cap:

- If you'd like to disable frame rate smoothing:

- 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.
Other information
Console commands
- Games running on Unreal Engine 3 can utilize some of the UE3 Console Commands for various tasks.
