The Evil Within is locked at 30 FPS on PC

4.6
The PC port of The Evil Within will be locked at 30 frames-per-second, just like the console version, Bethesda has confirmed.

Despite requiring a hefty PC to run it on recommended settings, The Evil Within will still be locked at 30FPS on PC, similar to the Xbox One and PS4 versions.

Bethesda confirmed this and much more in a forum post. “Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango designed The Evil Within to be played at 30fps and to utilize an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 for all platforms,” it reads.

“The team has worked the last four years perfecting the game experience with these settings in mind.”

Bethesda added that it will provide a list of debug commands that would let you unlock the game’s framerate and aspect ratio, though it warned that they’re not recommended or supported.

The publisher also added that the 4GB VRAM requirement on PC is due to new-gen consoles having 8GB of unified ram. The PC version being an identical port, is why it requires this amount of VRAM.

STOP GOING BACKWARDS. Y u do dis? Seriously, why is gaming taking a huge step backwards? Even locking a game at 60FPS is absolutely moronic, in fact locking the FPS on a game at all is moronic, especially on PC. I'm actually pretty sure Bethesda have updated us on this and stated that the game won't be locked at 30FPS, I really hope it isn't.

Kex this game is going to be so awesome i saw PewDiePie playing it the game seems very scary if you play in the dark while its quiet


No. You can't say a game is good if Pewdiepie is playing it. He's a grown man that cries and screams at games like Viva Pinata ( or something ) like a 3 year old girl.

If you want to see actual game play and see if a game is good, there's hundreds if not thousands of other YouTubers that do wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than him and can actually tell you/let you see how good the game is.
