High frame rate

Raise frame rate cap[8]
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Mobius Digital\Outer Wilds\
  2. Create a new file named secretsettings.txt.
  3. Open it and add the line PhysicsRate=120 where 120 is the desired frame rate.
This changes the rate at which physics calculations are performed, which may have a significant impact on performance.

  3. 3.0 3.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/753640/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (753640) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  4. The contents of one of the game files suggest that anisotropic textures are enabled by default (2 in Quality Settings).[5]
