Posted on September 5, 2014, GameFront Staff Dead Rising 3: How to Remove the 30 FPS Cap on PC

Nobody likes a limit. The ultimate edition of Dead Rising 3 is out on PC but saddled with a capped framerate based on its native console handicap. You aren’t getting the best experience possible without some tweaks. See how to remove the cap and run Dead Rising 3 at 60 FPS — if you’ve got the right instructions.

Dead Rising 3 was optimized for 30 FPS. Adding the custom .ini file isn’t supported by the developers, but shouldn’t cause any adverse effects to gameplay or stability. Still, it’s always healthy to proceed forward with caution when adding files to the installation directory.

Taking away the limit can give you a smooth experience, or cause your system to chug along at a snail’s pace. Pushing those frames takes serious horsepower, so remove restrictions at your own risk.

How to Remove the 30 FPS Cap on PC

To remove the 30 FPS Cap, find the installation directory that contains Deadrising3.exe and create a custom .ini file. Check the steps below;

• 1. To create the custom .ini file on PC, start a new Notepad (Or any other text editing program) file and paste the following single line of text:

• • gmpcr_unlock_frame_rate=true

• 2. Save, then rename your .txt file User.ini and place it in the same file directory as Deadrising3.exe.

Playing at a smooth 60 FPS takes a powerful computer, but the cap doesn’t seem to hide any cut corners. Animations have the proper amount of frames and the physics engine works as intended.
