120Hz support?

I was looking forward to seeing this in 120Hz after getting my new monitor, but the game seems to be capped to 60 fps. Is there anything I can do to get round this or is it tied into the engine?

Why would you do that? Everything above 60 fps is unnoticeable to the human mind. :p

Also, I'm not expert, but you probably have VSync on. And since 60 is nicely half of 120Hz, that should work out fine. Smile

Augh I hate VSync, do you guys not notice how much mouse lag that gives you... or is that just me?

Human mind can see upwards of much more than 60 - but some notice it more than others. I can tell a mile off and it's oh so beautiful!

I tried disabling vsync and even though the monitor reports 1920 x 1080 @ 120hz both vsync on and off limits at 60.

Go to "C:\Users\##User##\Documents\Amnesia\Main" (should be this for windows 7), Open the file "main_settings.cfg" with notepad, Find this:
<Engine LimitFPS="true" and change it to
<Engine LimitFPS="false"

Now the game won't be limited to 60 fps. but it may overheat your PC because of the huge framerate on the menus, I think.. So, after doing that, turn on vsync and the game should limit the framerate to 120fps.
