instructions
first, navigate to your psycho patrol r installation folder





then create a file named override.cfg with this written inside of it:
[display] ; force fullscreen, since the game doesnt seem to save it ; this should fix the game starting with a weird offset that makes it impossible to get to the settings menu ; default: false window/size/fullscreen=true ; disable vsync, usually improves performance at the cost of screen tearing ; i recommended setting an fps limit in the settings if you turn vsync off ; default: true window/vsync/use_vsync=false [rendering] ; force vertex shading, which makes lighting a lot a less expensive to render ; this is NOT recommended because it messes up the lighting on map geometry because of how qodot compiles maps ; ideally, smaller models like npcs, weapons, gibs, etc should have vertex lighting but only ville can do that rn ; only set this to "true" if you really really need the fps ; default: false quality/shading/force_vertex_shading=false ; make lighting look slightly worse for a slight performance increase ; it's personally not noticeably to me ; default: false quality/shading/force_lambert_over_burley=true ; make specular reflections look slightly worse for a slight performance increase ; again, it personally doesn't really seem noticable to me ; default: false quality/shading/force_blinn_over_ggx=true
troubleshooting
make sure that the file is not named like override.cfg.txt because that won't work

you should enable file extensions in your file explorer, for windows 11 i think it should be like:
View > Show > File Name Extensions

(because windows doesn't respect your intelligence, it hides file extensions by default which has been a huge headache with helping ppl with their configs even in other games and apps)
potato mode
the best way to increase fps is to just reduce your screen resolution (if you're gpu-limited), i think 1280x720 is still perfectly playable

if youre on an ancient pc and want to see if you can squeeze more frames, then try adding this to your launch options:
--video-driver GLES2
(this is generally not recommended)

if you're on linux, try to see if running the game natively instead of through proton helps with your fps:

@wget yeah i used to have a mac long ago but gave up because windows is just the easiest way to play pc games

@John Ham
have never touched a mac, but porting to mac is probably close to the same process as this, though i can't be sure
would be glad if someone else with mac access made a similar guide about that

if you are on mac you can try get a godot binary for mac similar to the linux one (use the same guide basicly)
