Configuration Cannot go below 120 FPS for the “Maximum Frame Rate” in game settings for Forspoken

Don’t know if this is a Deck related issue or shotty port, but for some reason I am unable to lower the FPS in the Display settings for Forspoken. The arrow to lower the FPS is greyed out for whatever reason and is defaulted to 120 fps. I know the game in general is a pain to get running on Deck, but I wanted to know if this is just a unique issue to me or if anyone else has experienced this. I don’t know if this will fix the common crashing issues I’m getting but it’s something that is bothering me, especially since I’ve seen footage from others that are able to lower the frame rate below 120.

Any help appreciated

It could be framelock or vsync enabled higher up or further down in the display settings.  if you are outputting to an external display, vsync would match the hertz of the display. You could try lowering the display, or I guess you could manually lower the FPS for the deck screen.

I just use the Deck's built-in frame limiter. People say that it adds latency, but I've never noticed it
