Alright, so I wanted to crank up the FPS on Wuthering Waves to 120. The default options in the game didn’t go that high, so I had to dig around a bit. Here’s how I did it.
Finding the Config File
First, I had to find the game’s configuration file. I opened up my file explorer.
Then, I had to punch in a specific address to get to the right folder. The address was something like ‘%localappdata%LocalprojectSSavedConfigWindowsNoEditor’. Kind of a mouthful, I know. It’s basically the hidden AppData folder where the game saves its settings.
Tweaking the Settings
Inside that folder, I found a file named ‘*’. This is where the magic happens. Opened it up with a simple text editor, like Notepad.
At the very bottom of the file, I added these lines:
bSmoothFrameRate=False: This basically tells the game to stop trying to “smooth” out the frame rate, which can cap it at a lower value.
MinDesiredFrameRate=120.000000: I Set the minimum desired frame rate to 120.
SmoothedFrameRateRange=(...): This sets both the lower and upper bounds of the frame rate to 120, forcing it to stay there.
I Saved the file, and closed it.
Launching the Game
Then, I just Started the game up as usual. Went into the in-game settings, and Boom, the FPS option now showed 120. Selected it, and that’s it.
Just a heads-up, this might not work for everyone, and depending on your hardware, you might not even get a stable 120 FPS. But, on my machine, it is a smoother experience.
