Raising the FPS cap from 60 to 120

by zero.one00110 Aug 20261 min readOriginal thread on Discord

A player asks how to unlock 120 FPS on an NVIDIA laptop. The answer: open NVIDIA Control Panel, go to 3D Settings > Program Settings, add Kathana, and set Max Frame Rate to 120; if the game still sticks at 60, the monitor's refresh rate is the limit. A follow-up reply covers Linux (Ubuntu) users capping FPS with mangohud via a Steam launch option.

click "Program Settings"
Find Kathana or Add it manually

Might locked by your monitors refresh rate.

for Linux (Ubuntu) user:

```
MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps_limit=60,no_display" mangohud %command%
```
