All-in-one solution for smooth FPS-unlocked gameplay, mitigates stutter and reduces loading times massively.
<h3 class="install">Installation instructions</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>Main Files</b> - High FPS Physics Fix <strong>0.8.11</strong> (2nd file)</li>
<ol>
<li>Once the mod has been installed, double-click it in the left pane of MO2.</li>
<li>In the <strong>INI-Files</strong> tab, open <span class="card-basic">F4SE/Plugins/HighFPSPhysicsFix.ini</span></li>
<li>Change only the following options<sup><a title="Warning" href="#annotation1">[1]</a></sup>:</li>
<ul>
<li>Set <b>DisableBlackLoadingScreens</b> to <b>true</b> (line 37).</li>
<li>Set <b>PostloadingMenuSpeed</b> to <b>3.0</b> (line 51).</li>
<li>Set <b>OneThreadWhileLoading</b> to <b>false</b> (line 84).</li>
<li>If you use <strong>VRR</strong><sup><a title="VRR" href="#annotation2">[2]</a></sup>, set <b>InGameFPS</b> (line 58) to a number you can reach across the majority of the game<sup><a title="Bound" href="#annotation3">[3]</a></sup>, it has to be between 48<sup><a title="Range" href="#annotation4">[4]</a></sup> and <span class="card-basic">refresh rate - (refresh rate x 6.8%)</span>
</li>
<li>If you use <strong>fixed refresh rate</strong> (no VRR), set <b>InGameFPS</b> (line 59) to your <span class="card-basic">refresh rate - 0.005</span> or fractions of your refresh rate (choose based on which is <strong>closest to your lowest FPS</strong>).</li>
<li>If you set <b>InGameFPS</b> to a value higher than 60, do the following as well:</li>
<ul>
<li>Set <b>DynamicUpdateBudget</b> to <b>true</b> (line 291).</li>
<li>Set <b>BudgetMaxFPS</b> to the same value as <b>InGameFPS</b> (line 310).</li>

<span class="annotations">
<ol start="1">
<li id="annotation1">
<strong>Do not touch other settings</strong> unless you know what you are doing! For example you should know that:
<ul>
<li><b>AllowTearing</b> needs to stay enabled, it's a requirement for VRR and won't lead to tearing during gameplay - the mod turns off V-Sync only during loading (making it faster).</li>
<li>Enabling <b>DisableAnimationOnLoadingScreens</b> will freeze loading screens and any overlay you use, this is intended and will speed up loading by about 40%. You can enable it if you don't mind frozen loading screens.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="annotation2">
You can <strong>check if you are using VRR</strong> by going to the <b>Nvidia Control Panel</b> if you're on Nvidia or <b>Adrenalin's Display Settings</b> if you're on AMD. If the G-Sync tab is missing from NVCP, your display doesn't support it or doesn't have the feature enabled in the OSD.
<br>
<br>
Nvidia users need to make sure that G-Sync is set to <b>Fullscreen</b> and that <b>Display Specific settings</b> are enabled, the <b>Windowed</b> option is problematic due to it being a hacky method. Both of the settings are wrongly named so they do not actually directly refer to the display method.
</li>
<li id="annotation3">
You always want your FPS capped by a <strong>limiter instead of being hardware bound</strong>, this will reduce lag and increase power efficiency. It is also less jarring for the player when visual smoothness is the same across all scenes.
</li>
<li id="annotation4">
The VRR range on most monitors starts at 48, but it might also start at 30 or 1. You can check this on <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/" target="_blank">Nvidia's page</a> or from your monitor's specifications.
