This is disappointing. The Forza Horizon comparisons in the OT really had me interested in this game. 30 FPS is not a complete dealbreaker but for this it means picking the game up when it's super cheap vs. only waiting for a slight discount.

If you're going to be playing on the PC at the very least USE MSI Afterburner OSD to set the framerate to 30 fps. Without doing this you'll end up with "out of order" frames and lots of judder. The default framerate lock doesn't work well just like most other PC games that use it.

I thought this was old news? was it denied at some point or something? because I'm sure there was funny statement from the devs about 30fps.

anyway 30fps for racing games = I'm not buying the game. It's that simple.

Does this run better than Most Wanted did on PC? (or Hot Pursuit for that matter!).

If I can get 30fps on a NFS game its a step up!

Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit are both at 60 fps. Though Most Wanted barely gets there.

I played Assassin's Creed IV on a PC. Unlocked, of course. Absolutely blown away by how fluid it was, especially after playing 2, B, R, and 3 on my 360, to the point where I have been convinced that when I can afford ACIV, I'm not picking it up on consoles. In fact, I'm thinking I might just go sell all my console versions of the series. They are so crap in comparison.

So here I am thinking "ah, yes, great framerates really are important. I'm glad to see that developers realize this."

And then... no. Guys. Why? Why would you ever lock NFS at 30? In what universe is that a good idea? I was vaguely interested in picking this up. Now... well, less so.

No that would be a silly assumption, hence why I didnt say that.

But really this is probably a port of the PS4/XBONE version.

There is no mechanical conversion for FPS on the human eye. However studies have shown 240fps is the highest the human eye can benefit from. Anything above is pointless.

The beauty of PC is you could always lock it back to 30Hz if you so desired.

I haven't played any games yet but out of gameplay footage I have seen so far, NFS rivals is definnatly the most underwhelming. If you told me it was a previous gen launch title I would be able to believe you if I didn't know better. Absolutely nothing interesting or new.

I just did it without success. Used cheatengine. I think the game need some kind of "vid_restart" after changing the value because is locked at 30 :(

After watching the gametrailers review, i'm kinda turned off by the concept of this game now. I didn't realize that it was always online and had multiple players in your game world. The rivals theme also seems very heavy-handed. 30fps sure doesn't help. I think i'll rent it on XO or something...i was planning on playing it later on pc.

Re Durante: Unless I missed something he was only responsible for adopting the FPS fix into his resolution fix, not actually fixing the FPS himself. Now if this is resolution locked on PC (not as likely, but then I can see them capping at 1080p anyway) then yeah, maybe we can hope for a fix there, for who it's relevant to anyway.

Anyways, like I said before this just solidifies sticking with PS4 for me, or XB1 if I had been getting it. 1080p and likely maxed out details, at that point there probably isn't any advantage to PC.

Seems more like ENGINE problems actually, they said this was done for MP reasons and many people noted Frostbite games can get screwy depending on FPS issues in MP. Ergo keeping everyone at 30 is safest, whereas maybe this wouldn't have an issue on other engines.

step 1. open notepad
step 2. type 'unlock 60fps plz!'

And now you're running at 60fps!

Is this what console gamers think being a PC gamer is like?

That's pretty much exactly how I unlocked 1080p in some of my PC games, including a few that were capped at 600p originally.
I edited min/max framerates in Arkham City and quadrupled my framerate.
But still, probably not so simple in this specific case.

Maybe the reason is the online playing. I guess you can't have one player running the game at 30 fps and another running the same at 60 fps. Is a very big difference.

However I hope someone could quit this ridiculous limitation.
