Instructions

Game doesn't feature any FPS lock besides the disableable v-sync. However mouse view control breaks when overcoming 60 FPS. It's still possible to manually force extreme sensitivities inside the configuration file by increasing Control.MouseSensitivity value

Best way to avoid control issues is to play the game with a controller, or limiting game to 60 FPS. See Mouse lag and random sensitivity.
