Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.

  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\game\d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\v2x.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
  4. Change TargetFPS=0.0 to TargetFPS=60.0.
  5. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0.

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>/337180/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (337180) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
