Recently, the FFlag “FFlagGameBasicSettingsFramerateCap” was found to be able to change your maximum framerate in-game thanks to @Maximum_ADHD for the post, but I think how it was implemented has some flaws. I have a monitor that has a refresh rate of 120Hz. The issue is that 60 FPS isn’t fully smooth for my monitor and 144 FPS causes artifacts. This same goes for my phone, which is a Samsung S21+.
A better approach that I find would be way better would be to use a slider with an input; just like the camera sensitivity setting.
This would allow for people who have monitors with different refresh rates to be able to set the maximum framerate to the proper values for their setup.
For the time being; the workaround I have to deal with is using 240 FPS, but this does cause some issues if the framerate were to ever go between 120 and 240 FPS. This isn’t fully released yet, but I think that this is good feedback to improve the feature.
That is another valid option! I was going to mention that in the post but decided to focus only on the change to a slider. Perhaps take the approach the graphics slider has with multiple options. “Default” (60FPS), “V-Sync” (your refresh rate), or “Custom” (manually set variable). Maybe have this styled like the graphics settings from “Manual” to “Automatic”, but for FPS modes.
Hi, this was my project. I think this is a good idea, though one value of the choiced system for this immediate implementation to make the “default” option intuitive–there ought to be a difference between “I want 60 FPS” and “I want the default” (because we very well might change the default one day!). It’s obviously not an unsolvable problem, it was just easier to do it this way without making two separate options
I do understand that trying to condense this into one singular option is easier, but having 2 options (as I mentioned above) would make the FPS changer accessible for any monitor’s refresh rate no matter what it is. To me, easier is not always the better option.
