I cannot get the game to run at higher than 60fps no matter what I set the FPS Limit and VSync setting to. It seems to be hard capped at 60FPS. I am using an M2 Ultra Mac Studio with a 144hz 4k monitor.

I get the same thing on an M3 Max Macbook Pro in the image above.

then maybe its in you setting

#

im on windows and some laptop especially the old one cap fps at 30 per exemple to lower power usage when they are not powered

#

so check you macos setting or google it

Tried that of course. Other games run at 200+ FPS for me no problem.

try turning vsync off

#

vsync basically limits the fps to the refresh rate of your monitor

I've tried tweaking all settings in the game.

Hey, could you try switching to the 0.0.8 branch on steam and see if that resolves it ?

It is capped at 60 still on 0.0.8. But the overall performance is MUCH worse. It can barely sustain 60FPS.

I was unable to fix this so i requested a refund on Steam FWIW.

Sorry to hear it could not get resolved. The only other solution I could have suggested was to try the other DirectX Launch option to see if that works better. (it may not)
We acknowledge that the game has not been optimized for Apple Silicon yet and have some optimizations planned that hopefully improve the performance on the newer Apple chips.
