Note: As of 10/10/19 the above steps only work when one of the following game clients is running: steam, origin, battle.net, epic game store, or rockstar game launcher. Without one of the aforementioned clients running the game seems to max out at 50ish fps. With one of the aforementioned clients running the game remains at about 120 fps. The game wont always remain stable at 120 fps, if the game wobbles between 50-60fps to 90ish fps when starting or after a cut-scene, assuming the Patch 1.4.2.1 / XIII+ is installed, simply hit f11 to toggle down to windowed mode and wait a few moments then hit f11 to toggle back into full screen, repeat this process until the frame rate remains around 120 fps again (shouldn't need to window and full screen more than a couple times to get a stable fps) - cause for this is unknown at this time. |
