- Steam owners unlock the frame rate of the game by downgrading to the original ("speed runner") version of the game.
Unlock the frame rate (Steam only)[3]
|
- Open the Steam Library and select the game.
- Right click and select Properties.
- Open the Betas tab and opt into the
ogversion - Original version for Speed Runners beta.
- The frame rate of the game is capped using vertical sync to the refresh rate of the monitor, which by default is set to 60 Hz in fullscreen mode. Use any of the following options to override this:
- Play the game in window mode while the desktop refresh rate is configured to a value higher than 60 Hz.
- Force vertical sync off through the display driver control panel to force an uncapped frame rate for fullscreen mode.
- Use Special K to force a custom refresh rate higher than 60 Hz for fullscreen mode.
- It is recommended to cap the frame rate to a specific value as too high of a frame rate can cause issues with animation and input not being recognized.
