As we’ve informed you, Black Box was considering removing the idiotic 30fps lock that was present in the PC version of Need For Speed: The Run and that time has finally come. Oh yeah, PC gamers can finally enjoy NFS: The Run with a higher framerate as Black Box and EA have released a patch for the game that unlocks it. And get this; the patch comes with the Signature Edition Booster Pack cars for free to all PC gamers. Hell yeah.
To get the patch simply login to Origin on your PC and it will automatically download / install the patch.
Here is the changelog for NFS: The Run’s update:
– 30 FPS cap is disabled when v-sync is set to OFF in advanced display settings
– Tweaked reset behavior for a number of tracks in The Run where resets seemed too close to the main race route
