High frame rate

Game doesn't feature any FPS lock outside of buggy vsync which limits frame rate to 30 FPS. Enabling vsync in the video driver correctly vsyncs game to monitors refresh rate. However mouse view control break when overcoming 60 FPS. Game is still playable and it's possible to increase mouse sensitivity even higher from settings.txt located in Configuration file location by increasing Control.MouseSensitivity value or just use controller.
Best way to avoid control issues is to limit game to 60 FPS. See Mouse lag and random sensitivity.
