Need For Speed Rivals - Remove 30 fps cap | Get 60 fps

By Caner

This game runs natively at capped 30fps and is not supposed to run it above that.
But there is a simple way to kind of fix that issue.

Above 60fps possible?

It is kind of possible if you change the ''60'' at both lines to your prefered refresh rate:

-GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60

BUT...

it will break your game.
Your game will run faster, like it is a time lapse.
You will also get plenty of bugs like broken sound and broken camera angles and so on.
