Run the game at screen refresh rate

Maximum selectable refresh rate is 60 Hz. This does not limit FPS, but may set the monitor's refresh rate to 100 Hz, which may result in screen tearing on a 120 or 144 Hz monitor.

  2. Open TV_CD_DVD.ini.
  3. Find the line DesiredRefreshRate=60.
  4. Change the value to your monitor's refresh rate, for example 120 or 144.

Notes

Modifying any video options will undo the custom refresh rate.
