    Hello! I have already tried searching around the forums and have only found one thread complaining about what I am about to bring up (in other words, I haven't found any useful information). Anyway, I was just wondering if there will ever be an option to set the refresh rate to 120hz. Having a 120hz monitor and a computer capable of running the game at 120fps, I would love to see the game run at such a high, smooth framerate. If anyone knows anything regarding this situation, PLEASE let me know. I am just looking for a short answer - yes or no - with a brief explanation as to why. For example, "No, because it is not possible within the limitations of the engine". An answer like that would be perfect. Thanks!

    You need to have purchased the game and have registered your forum account with the email you got. Do you see how they have "DRIVE" under their names? It gives them access to a special part of the forums that you can't see unless you have bought the game and synced your forum account.

    I don't know if this works on the tech demo, but here it is.

    Hope no one minds.

    Or open scripts/gui/optionsDlg.cs and add

    Code:
    %refreshMenu.add("120", 120);
    Under

    Code:
    %refreshMenu.add("75", 75);
    It's pretty terrible that refresh rates are hard coded. Direct3D and OpenGL are both perfectly capable of getting the supported refresh rates for the monitor.
