Frame rate is locked at 30 FPS

Bypass 30 FPS limit

You can force the game to run at 60 FPS or 120 FPS. For the solution, see.[2]

Game fails to launch with high refresh rate monitors

Use Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

If you have a 120hz or higher display with no 60hz mode, the game will not launch.

  1. Download and run the Custom Resolution Utility.
  2. Click the Add button under standard resolutions.
  3. Choose the resolution of your monitor and make sure the refresh rate is set to 60.
  4. Click OK. Click OK again to close the program.
  5. Run restart64.exe (for 64-bit Windows) or restart.exe (for 32-bit Windows). The screen should flicker a bit.
  6. If all went well, the game should now work.
You might need to reboot if the game still doesn't work.
