Unlocking the framerate

Method 1
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open BaseEngine.ini.
  3. Search for the section titled Engine.GameEngine.
  4. Edit the values for MinSmoothedFrameRate and MaxSmoothedFrameRate to the desired minimum and maximum framerates.
  5. Save the file.
Method 2
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open BaseEngine.ini.
  3. Search for bSmoothFrameRate.
  4. Change the value for bSmoothFrameRate from True to False. This will uncap the framerate completely instead of raising the maximum limit.
  5. Save the file.

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>/39000/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (39000) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
