The solution to this problem is to cap your frame rate to 60.
 
* You can use Vsync to accomplish this but Vsync causes input lag.
 
* Another solution is to use a program like Dxtory to cap the FPS to 60 and then turn off Vsync. To cap your FPS with Dxtory go to the advanced tab (microchip). Then checkmark "Limit Video FPS" and set the number to 60.
 
* Also, you can add a special command to the '''autoexec.cfg''' file in F.E.A.R. 2's installation directory, that way the framerate is capped off automatically upon starting the game. Open up autoexec.cfg with a text editor like Notepad and add <code>maxFPS 60</code> under <code>DisableMaterialsFromFile 1</code>.<ref name="gamespot post">[http://www.gamespot.com/forums/games-discussion-1000000/fear-2-project-origin-cap-framerate-26787281/ F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin - CAP FRAMERATE - Gamespot]</ref>
 
* For nVidia cards, you can use the free tool nVidia Inspector to accomplish this.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/16450/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (16450) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
