Konami has just launched Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater to those who have pre-ordered it. As I’ve informed you, the PC version is locked at 60FPS. However, there is a simple way via which you can unlock the framerate.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is powered by Unreal Engine 5. So, all you have to do is edit its Engine.INI file.
To remove the framerate limit, go to this folder: AppData\Local\MGSDelta\Saved\Config\Windows. Open the Engine.INI file that you will find inside there. Search for SystemSettings. After that, paste the commands below.
[SystemSettings]
bUseFixedFrameRate=True
bSmoothFrameRate=False
FixedFrameRate=120
FrameRateLimit=120.0
r.Streamline.DLSSG.Enable=1
t.Streamline.Reflex.Enable=1
r.Streamline.DilateMotionVectors=0
With these settings, you will cap the framerate to 120FPS. If you want to get to 240FPS, you’ll simply change FixedFrameRate and FrameRateLimit to 240.
According to reports, if you simply uncap the framerate, the game will have some slowmo issues. To fix them, you’ll have to download this mod. Once you have installed it, you can do the config changes I mentioned above.
It’s also worth noting that the following commands will enable Frame Gen and Reflex. If you don’t want Frame Gen, you’ll have to set r.Streamline.DLSSG.Enable to 0. You can keep Reflex enabled. Still, if you want to also disable Reflex, you’ll have to set t.Streamline.Reflex.Enable to 0.
Now, if you don’t want to use the mod above, you can use MGSDeltaFix. In my opinion, this is the best way to unlock the framerate. I’ve finished the game with it, and for the most part, everything worked great. So, make sure to use it.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater appears to be a heavy game on Max Settings. I’ll soon test it and report back on my findings. Until then, you can use this mod to enable things that should have been included in the first place.
I’ve also seen some “performance” mods. These are your typical UE5 “fake mods”. They will not magically fix the game’s traversal stutters. So, don’t expect much from them.
Stay tuned for more!
