| 120+ FPS | The game seems to have speed tied to the frame rate in laptops that do not support more than 60hz, which makes it appear as if the game is running faster but not smoother. It’s possible to exceed 60 FPS by enabling “Threaded Optimization” through the Nvidia drivers. However, it’s possible to run at more than 120 FPS on laptops that support FPS higher than 60, such as “MSI PULSE GL66”, although the game has physics issues when exceeding 60 FPS, for example in “Mort’s Adventure”, during the pinball section. The plunger doesn’t provide enough force to launch Mort onto the pinball table. [1] | ||

- When I run the game and also use the Xbox Game Bar Performance Widget, the frames are over 60 FPS, In addition, I ran the game on two different laptops playing “Volcano Rave”. On the first laptop, the game was running faster, while on the second laptop, the mini-game was running smoothly at more than 144 FPS.
