Okay, so I wanted to get Wuthering Waves running smoother, specifically targeting that sweet 120 frames per second. The default options just weren’t cutting it for me.
First thing I did, naturally, was dive into the game’s own graphics settings menu. I clicked around, scrolled through everything, looked everywhere. But nope, the highest option was just 60 FPS. Pretty standard limitation, but still a bit frustrating when you know your screen can do more.
Digging into the Files
Alright, plan B then. Time to poke around in the actual game files on my computer. I figured there had to be some kind of configuration file somewhere that controlled this behind the scenes. Usually, these things hide out in places like your AppData folder or sometimes right in the main game installation directory.
So, I started navigating through the folders where I installed Wuthering Waves. I think I went into something like `Wuthering Waves Game`, then deeper into a folder called `Client`, then `Saved`, and finally hit a `Config` folder. That seemed like the most likely spot.
Inside `Config`, there was another folder, I think it was `WindowsNoEditor` or something similar since I’m on Windows. Inside that, I spotted a file named . That sounded like the jackpot. Usually, user settings control stuff like graphics and frame rates.
Editing the File
I just right-clicked `*` and opened it with plain old Notepad. Nothing fancy needed. Then I started scrolling through the text inside, looking for anything that mentioned frame rate or FPS.
After a bit of scanning, I found the line I was looking for. It looked something like this:
FrameRateLimit=60.000000
It was pretty obvious what I needed to do. I just carefully changed that 60.000000 value to 120.000000.
After making that change, I saved the file. Now, sometimes games can be annoying and overwrite your custom settings when they launch. So, as an extra step, I right-clicked the `*` file again, went into its Properties, and ticked the Read-only checkbox at the bottom. Clicked Apply, then OK. That should hopefully stop the game from changing it back.
Moment of Truth
With the file edited and saved (and set to read-only), I launched Wuthering Waves again. Waited for it to load up, got into the actual game world, and started moving around.
I brought up my FPS counter overlay – you know, the one from my graphics card software or whatever tool you use. And yeah, success! The counter was showing numbers fluctuating around 120 FPS. It felt noticeably smoother, much better than the locked 60.
So, that was pretty much it. Just required finding the right config file and changing one little number. Took a few minutes of digging, but totally worth it for that unlocked frame rate. Of course, whether you actually hit 120 FPS consistently depends on how powerful your PC is, but at least the game wasn’t holding it back anymore.
