I haven't played with Enhanced yet even though it's installed, but apparently there is a much simpler method.

For Steam it's a launch option -maxFrameLimit. This can be set in properties, launch options.

I personally launch from a VB app i developed but this can be done from a simple Windows .bat file or .ps:

start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steam.exe" -dev -login userid password -applaunch 271590 -scOfflineOnly -maxFrameLimit 200

You can play with higher FPS rates, for example 250, but given many of our monitors synch at 60, turning synch (vsynch or other) and running very high FPS can lead to texture tearing, especially for crappy GPUs and crappy monitors.

@JohnFromGWN Even if you use that launch option, you can't go above 163 FPS without mods. You could test and confirm, just check the FPS counter during the pause menu.

@Kraff Thanks, but I know how to display FPS. You're absolutely right, the FPS is capped at 120 FPS and with this setting set to off, I hit 163 tops in a low texture area on a 4080 GPU. Just shows you the amount of bullshit and disinformation you have on the web and particularly on Youtube.

However I think it's best we have a stable modding environment before we start introducing new variables. - contingent on SH5 and other mods that might need updating such as OpenIV.asi (the editor works, who knows if the .asi will work), heap and packfile limit adjusters, etc., Also, it's really debatable as what is the maximum FPS that the human eye can detect. I've watched action movies at 24 FPS that were decent but obviously that's way too low for gaming.

mine is still below 165fps, anyway i can check if i've successfully bypassed 165 cap ?
