Gears of War Update Adds Unlimited Frame Rate
The Coalition has launched a new update for Gears of War Ultimate Edition on Windows PC that might be of keen interest to fans. This new update for the game now allows players to change the frame rate limit and toggle off v-sync (via Gamespot). This update introduces support from the new Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform features.
In addition, there is also an anisotropic filtering setting with the update in the video options. The update also has a number of bug fixes, specifically a fix for the bug that caused post-processing effects to become disabled in some circumstances. You can find the full patch notes for the latest update (Title Update 5) below:
- Added v-sync toggle to video options: Toggle “off” to not be limited by your monitor’s refresh rate. Note: This requires an OS update that can be found here.
- Added frame rate limit selector to video options: Use to reduce your frame rate if you are getting too much tearing, or choose unlimited to let the game render as fast as possible. Note: This option is best used with v-sync off. With v-sync on, it will force the game onto a refresh interval (render every refresh, every second refresh, etc.).
- Added anisotropic filtering setting to video options
- Added FPS counter toggle to video options.
- Fixed a bug where post processing could become disabled.
- Fixed a bug where PSO’s could be created on the fly instead of read from the cache, causing hitches.
Gears of War Ultimate Edition is available now for Windows PC and Xbox One.
