Vertical sync (Vsync)
Configurable in settings.exe when 60Hz monitor is used/selected. That setting applies even in higher/lower refresh rates. VSync is enabled even when the option is unticked in settings.exe when entering the game in fullscreen mode in Windows 10 while using fullscreen optimizations. Disabling fullscreen optimizations for PES12.exe disables Vsync properly in fullscreen. A message that says that Vsync works only in Windowed mode in settings.exe is only true when PES12.exe has disabled fullscreen optimizations.
60 FPS
Everything is rendered in 60fps except entrance, replays, corner & free kick scenes which are rendered in 30fps.
120+ FPS
Game is 60fps locked.
