Re: 3440 x 1440 LOCKED TO 60HZ REFRESH RATE - Greyed Out

@Xtremed I have tried everything before putting this post up and no solutions work for me.

You mention uysing Adrenaline software to see the actual FPS the game is rendering but you are actually so wrong with that statement. It is the GPU that is rendering the FPS and not the game. For example if you have a 144Hz monitor and are running 200 FPS then you are not getting any benefit over 144Hz / 144 FPS and are basically wasting resources. 

For example I modified the fcsetup file and changed it to 3440 x 1440 and set the refresh rate to that of one in EA FC 25 (120Hz). Loaded into the game and it played utter crap, checked within advanced settings and even though all settings pointed to 120Hz it was actually stuck in 60Hz. If you bothered to read my original post you would clearly see that this solution worked for me with EA FC 24 but not with the new EA FC 25.

The only solution is to run the game in 1080p which then unlocks the refresh rate of the application.

If an EA Advisor wants to point me to the same thread then thats on them, thats not what I am asking. I am simply asking them to acknowledge the issue and work on fixing the issue. Why should gamers have to find work arounds just to play a game in this day and age. There has been many many early access games with only a couple of DEVS working on the project produce far better results in terms of fixing bugs, patching games and overall customer service compared to a massive company like EA.

Stop defending EA's poor Customer Service and start fighting for proper updates to fix issues that real users are experiencing. This exact issue was a well known issue for EA last year and yet they still neglect to fix this issue amongst many more. Worth to keep in mind though if there was a bug in the game allowing you an extra 20 coins per match in UT then that would be patched instantly.

    @ICE_MARINE1Hi, no don't get me wrong not trying to defend anybody, I would prefer things would work without me needing to tweak things every time I install new drivers =D

    But one thing that just wanted to point out, based on what you mentioned, and just to be sure... you did change the settings inside the options to have unlimited framerate, (on your fcsetup.ini it should say max_frame_rate = 0). As like im saying I was able to tweak things (with Nvidia, there is also the chance there are issues with AMD...) and im able to play with no issues, even qualified already to Fut Champs for next week =)

    Anyway hope you could sort this one out so you enjoy the experience, even more after paying the extra for ultimate edition.
    Good luck!

  • Just triple checked and settings are all correct within the fcsetup config file, just sadly doesnt work for me this time around ☹️

  • To me it seems to be working if you edit the config file.  You just cant change any settings in the game or it will revert back to 60hz.  And I am using the same GPU and Monitor. 

    You can check to see if its working by using the monitors firmware osd and going to display info in the others section of the firmware settings, while the game is running.

    Also I am using no limit FPS in the game settings and using Adrenalin software to limit FPS to 165fps.  And also have Freesync turned on.  

    Hope that helps.

  • Can somebody explain step by step What to do if i cant chance my Gert away from 60. Its been stück for 3 weeks
