Thread: unlimited frame rate option has been removed from the client on 5.0

Just remember to set your refresh rate correctly. It doesn't always set it to the correct one automatically, for some reason.



There's no reason to allow for unlimited frame rate. What's important is that the max framerate changes with the monitor's hz.

There is a reason. The ingame framerate limiter is causing stuttering and problems for lots of players. For instance, if I select any capping option ingame it would make the fps go like ~20-30 fps less than the option selected.

So as an example, you select 1/1 refresh rate, 60fps in my case and game will run at ~45fps, while with "unlimited/no cap" it will average 80fps+.

There has been posts on reddit and thelike showing it: https://streamable.com/txvqx .

And yeah it has to do with the ingame framerate limiter, if I limit them with nvidia panel/inspector after setting it to unlimited ingame it works as expected.

This change is clearly to stop unintended things (exploits) from happening. It's worth making a small % of players have to "suffer" by playing at 90 FPS. No human can see the difference between 90 and 144hz anyway.

The real problem with this is how it would effect Gsync/freesync

If it works for most of the people but not all I wont call it a good solution either, see above as why its not a good thing as an example
