How to unlock fps (remove 60fps cap)

By ZenTunE

The game defaults to 60fps. Fine on a steam deck, not on desktop. This guide tells you how to change the refresh rate to whatever you want through the config file.

Step 1: Locate config file

The config is located in the game's local files, in
\steamapps\common\Aperture Desk Job\game\steampal\cfg\video.txt

Open the file.

Step 2: Edit the file

Find the following lines:
"setting.refreshrate_numerator" "0"
"setting.refreshrate_denominator" "0"

and set the numerator to your perferred fps (or 999 for unlimited) and denominator to 1, for example for 144Hz it would look like this:
"setting.refreshrate_numerator" "144"
"setting.refreshrate_denominator" "1"

Now save the file.

Step 3: Done. Final notes:

Now when you launch the game, you will have your framerate set to whatever you chose. Camera movement will still look like 60fps but eveything else like animations are smooth.
Vsync has to be enabled for it to work, if you try to disable it in game settings, it will revert back to 60fps.

Had them set to read only, v-sync set to on, will try again, thanks for the answer

Try opening the game and cycling the vsync option off and on again. Then close the game, go back to the file, make the edits and set read only. It works for me 🤔

Still capped at 60 for me with:

"setting.mat_vsync" "1"
"setting.refreshrate_numerator" "144"
"setting.refreshrate_denominator" "1"

:( also enabled read only
