Config Location , a necessary tweak and a copy pasta.
There are 3 things we need to do to uncap or manually cap the framerate of the game , easy enough right?

First thing we need to do is to locate the config files , for unreal engine 4 titles which this game is the config files are stored generally in the appdata.

simply type %appdata% into the searchbar and click on the link that appeared



once there you'll need to navigate to local directory of the appdata and follow the path to the windowsnoeditor directory of the Vagrant subdirectory : \AppData\Local\TheVagrant\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor



Open the GameUsersettings.ini , set Vsync to false , set framelimit to your desired framerate. In my case 146 frames for a 144hz monitor taking the prerendered frames into consideration. You can also leave at 0 for endless frames and an easy overheat of your gpu.




As for the last step , open the Engine.ini and copy paste the following script below the basescript.

[/script/engine.engine]
bSmoothFrameRate=false
MinSmoothedFrameRate=5
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=146
bUseVSync=false

it should look like this now.



Good job , your game now runs at more than 62fps. enjoy.

And what about these [prntscr.com]? If I lower the values, will my FPS grow?

@tizeY Didn't think about that! Seems like the input config file was just plain blank after playing with the other files. Maybe it was just Windows 10 doing stupid shit again... Thank you very much !

@leacd as we didn't touch the Input.ini there shouldn't be any difference in the controls. Try deleting the Input.ini , restart the game and then go ahead and try to manually set controls. In the Options menu.

The FPS cap is gone but my gamepad stopped working, do you know how to fix this kind of thing?
