Setting <code>-GameTime.ForceSimRate 60.0</code> will fix the speed up problem, by setting the simulation time-step to be synchronized to 60 fps. However, if the framerate drops below this threshold the game will slow down.<ref>http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4709493&postcount=249</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=eDA37BmvNwM#t=342 Let's not play Need for Speed: Rivals - YouTube]</ref>
