📋 About This Mod

Simple mod that lets you use separate FPS limits for gameplay and menus (inventory, journal, the hacking minigame and so on).

Useful if you want to (for example) play at locked 30 FPS with maximum ray traced eye candy but want menus to be at 100 FPS so your mouse cursor feels smooth.

As of version 3. 0 you can also toggle VSync, which is useful if you want to play the game with VSync enabled to remove tearing, but want VSync disabled for menus so your mouse cursor feels smooth.

Installation

Drop into Cyberpunk folder (its a typical CET mod)

Adjust values in Mods settings (provided by Native Settings)
