How to Unlock FPS in Dispatch (Fix 60 FPS Cap Issue)

If you’re stuck at 60 FPS (or 62 FPS) in Dispatch, the game is most likely being limited by V-Sync or an internal engine cap. Below is exactly why it happens, and how to remove it safely.

Is Dispatch Capped at 60 FPS?

Yes, by default Dispatch appears locked at 60 FPS due to V-Sync being enabled and an internal frame limiter tied to the game engine.

Even if your hardware can push higher frame rates, the game may prevent it unless you manually change certain settings.

Some players may see 62 FPS instead of 60, this is caused by frame pacing behavior rather than a true uncapped frame rate.

Why Dispatch Is Locked at 62 FPS

Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:

Frame Pacing

Many engines slightly exceed 60 FPS (usually 61–62) to stabilize frame timing and prevent stutter. This can look like a 62 FPS “cap,” even though it’s still effectively locked to 60Hz behavior.

Engine Limiter

Some games include a built-in frame rate limiter that overrides GPU control panel settings. Even if you disable V-Sync externally, the engine cap may remain active.

V-Sync Behavior

If V-Sync is enabled:

• The game syncs to your monitor’s refresh rate.
• On a 60Hz display, this locks the game to 60 FPS.
• With double buffering, you may see minor fluctuations like 59–62 FPS.

How to Uncap FPS in Dispatch

Follow these steps carefully:

Step 1: Disable V-Sync

• Open in-game settings.
• Turn V-Sync OFF.
• Restart the game.

If there’s no in-game option, disable V-Sync in:

• NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings
• AMD Radeon Settings → Graphics

Step 2: Edit Config File

1. Navigate to: C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\Dispatch\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
2. Open the configuration file (usually Engine.ini or GameUserSettings.ini).
3. Look for a line similar to: bUseVSync=True Change it to: bUseVSync=False

If you see:

FrameRateLimit=60

Change it to:

FrameRateLimit=0

Save the file and set it to Read-Only to prevent the game from reverting changes.

Step 3: Set Custom Frame Limit

After uncapping:

• Use NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Radeon software to set a custom frame limit (for example, 120 or 144 FPS).
• Alternatively, use RTSS (RivaTuner Statistics Server) for more stable frame pacing.

This prevents overheating or unnecessary GPU load.

Does Unlocking FPS Improve Performance?

✅Pros

• Smoother gameplay on high refresh rate monitors (120Hz/144Hz+)
• Lower input latency
• Better motion clarity

❌Cons

• Higher GPU usage and temperatures
• Possible screen tearing if V-Sync is disabled
• Some games may experience physics instability above 60 FPS

If you’re on a 60Hz monitor, uncapping FPS won’t provide visible benefits. On 120Hz+ displays, it can significantly improve responsiveness.
