  4. Edit the values for MinSmoothedFrameRate and MaxSmoothedFrameRate to the desired minimum and maximum framerates.
  5. Save the file.
Method 2
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open BaseEngine.ini.
  3. Search for bSmoothFrameRate.
  4. Change the value for bSmoothFrameRate from True to False. This will uncap the framerate completely instead of raising the maximum limit.
  5. Save the file.
