Does this game not have a fps adjuster?

I just realized by turning on msi afterburner this game is only running at 60fps? Why as old as this game is there is not something to change your fps. I bet I'm going to have to go looking for some config file like in 1990 with unreal tourney

    yeah its stupid, they need more graphics options. Oh and you indeed do have to go into the config to disable VSync.

    go into AppData\Local\DeadByDaylight\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor . You can disable it from there.

    No clue.

    They still can't get it to run well, so I'd assume it's releated.

    Wasn't there a "technical bugs/issues" section before? I was looking for help getting 60fps to not micro stutter all the time on a new high end pc.

    Yah, well I uncapped it and it runs fine, but it seems 120 fps is the max I can get it at? I know I can easily get my 155hz fps on this game, but I think they hard locked it to 120 which is better than 60 so I'm ok with, but curious is there a way to get it past the 120 bump?

    I know why they probably did it, so many people probably reading to put 999.00 in for fps to get it unlimited and then toasting their gpus on this menu. Especially the 30 series and up after what happen to new world lol. Cheesy they can't make a simple gui fps slider. I think the original maker of this game left and they don't know how to code.

    A lot of micro stutter people don't realize comes from anticheat. I'm not sure what this game uses if anything. I have tweaked the crap out of mine because of M stutter. I don't have any now. I changed my timer resolution to .5 ms with islc, there is a some things you have to add into the pc through command prompt. Back to anticheat games that use it, every 5 mins or so on certain games your pc will give an error in event viewer. I had to take steps which I don't remember now to fix that, but every 5 min when that error struck while playing it would cause a micro stutter which was annoying. If you use nvidia, some drivers are better than others as well.
