Let us remind ourselves that Cyberpunk 2077 comes out in less than a month, and the Nvidia RTX 3000 series just released a couple of months ago making 8k gaming at 60 fps a reality. 360hz monitors are actually a thing right now you can buy, and PC tech has never been more powerful.

But Amnesia 2, game we've been waiting literally a decade for, is capped at 60 FPS. In 2020. The f*ck?

Yes I know you can use the config file to raise it. I've done that, but even then, the framerate is incredibly choppy to the point I consider it almost unplayable (at least visually discomforting) despite the counter telling me I am apparently getting 120+ frames. Nah, this feels more like the game can't handle anything above 60 FPS. Even the first Amnesia ran better at 144!

I know developing this game must have been hard due to an unfortunate case of "there's a pandemic," but sincerely to Frictional, what year do you think it is!? Not supporting 144 FPS when 2021 is just 2 months away; this is unacceptable!

For all of you people with 60hz monitors who can't perceive the issue, let me just tell you that 144hz monitors, even with G-SYNC, do not display 60 FPS with the same clarity that a 60hz monitor does. For all intents and purposes, I am getting less than 60 FPS, despite my FPS counter displaying much higher than that.

The choppiness is insane, almost as if the game simply does not know how to display any higher than 60 fps. This makes sense; 144 fps is not in the game's list of supported framerates for a reason, I suppose. Many older games have similar problems due to using older game engines, and this game uses the same antiquated engine since the first Penumbra game!

Frictional, I expected better of you. I think I will refund until the framerate issues are resolved, not to mention the many graphical glitches I've witnessed thus far.

PS I encourage everybody to turn shadows and sun shadows to 'low' and laugh at the absurdly low-res shadow that seems to have about 8 pixels.

EDIT: I refunded this game already shortly after I made this post, but to clarify further, the choppiness I was experiencing was not *just* due to being locked at 60fps, but rather an additional visual lag and stuttering on top of the lower framerate. It was uncomfortable to play and seemed to be some kind of issue with optimization that I expect is already patched out, over a month later.
