Mafia definitive problem

robfosters · 31 Oct 2020 at 15:05

Anyone have any idea why this game locks my refresh rate 60Hz on a 144Hz monitor?

checked in Nvidia control panel and I’m definitely set to the correct refresh rate, but Mafia locks it at 60. It’s causing terrible stutter and tearing. To the point of not enjoyable. Any help is appreciated thanks

I semi sorted this out but it is a bit fiddly. You may need to set it to fullscreen or windowed and alt tab repeatedly. I think I had it set to windowed and then made it fullscreen with alt and enter.

My Google-fu skills returned suggestions for disabling "full screen optimisations", which is a setting under the compatibility tab of the game exe's properties.

Do you have variable refresh set for desktop?

Thanks guys, but I give up. The games broken.

Tried that and it locks to 60 again.

Hmm, well try the above about full screen optimisation, going by an article that should work. Borderless Windowed I think it might need to be.

just edit the ini and change it from 60 to 120-144 or whatever, works (also works on mafia 3 too)

pretty sure you just have to run it in borderless window. mine runs at high framerate

Done it now guys thanks. Saw a video on YouTube and followed its instructions and it’s all sorted. Nice full screen, G-Sync goodness
