FC 25 pc refresh rate locked to 60hz

this happened on FC 24 as well. however, on FC 24 there was a file called "fcsetup" that you could open and change the refresh rate. for FC 25, there isn't a file like this, at least there isn't one that i have found and i have looked everywhere. i dont know how this has happened again EA, and it needs to get fixed.

  • Hello guys,

    I've tried many things to solve the problem where FC25 refresh rate is locked to 60hz, even by changing the rate in fcsetup.ini (I use a 165Hz monitor).

    In fact, the game FC 25 doesn't support more than 144 Hz. So THAT'S EXPLAIN WHY THE GAME COULD BE LOCKED TO 60HZ.

    So if your screen is using, for my exemple, 165Hz, it will not work.

    You need to use personalized dispaly configuration in nVIDIA.


    After that, just set 144Hz in the fcsetup.ini and reload your game.  (Remember, to access to that file, open a file explorer and navigate to : C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 25

    I hope this will help a lot of you.

    Kind regards,
    Lyxxe

  • how about when your monitor just can change into between 165 hz or 60 hz, what refresh rate that i have to choose?

  • I think it's not a bug on the part of EA. This happened to me and I figured it was because my monitor refresh rate options on [ Right-click>Display Settings>Advanced display ] are 300 Hz and 60 Hz. The max for FIFa is 144 Hz ( 120, 30 are also options). 

    Solution: Add custom refresh rate options to the monitor's display. This can be done by the instructions on this link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/custom-refresh-rate/b5889c52-c77a-4ab5-a8cc-c15857183149.

    Hope this helps.

    it worked here. I changed the settings for:

    Fullscreen 0

    refresh rate 144hz

    windowed_mode 1 

    saved, left, and work just fine. 

    now Rrefresh rate is locked on 144hz 

    but I can't cahnge inside the game, only at the INI file/
