# nx2navi.ini: settings for nx2navi.exe. Copy this file to nx2navi.ini next to nx2navi.exe and remove the '#' of a line to change it.
# Each line shows the default; on a Steam Deck the device profile ([display]) changes a few of them. A NX2NAVI_*
# environment variable of the same name (NX2NAVI_FPS_LIMIT for fps_limit) overrides the file. Keys are case-insensitive;
# '#' and ';' start a comment; [sections] only group lines.

[frame rate]
# Frame rate limit: 30, 40, 45, 60, 90, 120, 144, any whole rate from 30 to 240, display (the refresh rate of the
# window's monitor, at most 240) or unlimited (as fast as the PC goes, at most 240 frames of the game a second). A
# higher rate gives 240: far above it the game's own code fails (its quick menu crashed at 700 fps). Above 60
# is experimental and needs realtime = 1. Changes while the game runs take effect at once.
# With mailbox or fifo presentation (vk_present, the default) a frame reaches the screen at a vertical blank, so a limit
# that does not divide the monitor's refresh rate keeps each frame on screen for a different number of refreshes. On a
# 320 Hz monitor 80, 64, 40 and 32 divide it and 90 does not: 90 fps alternates 3 and 4 refreshes per frame, which reads
# as judder while the frame counter still shows 90. Likewise on 240 Hz 60, 48 and 40 divide it and on 144 Hz 72, 48 and
# 36 do, while 60 does not. vk_present = immediate shows a frame as soon as it is presented, without this quantisation,
# at the cost of tearing. A monitor running with variable refresh (FreeSync, G-Sync) follows the frames instead, so
# there any limit inside its range is even.
# With frame generation on (framegen, [display]) the limit counts the frames on screen, generated ones included: the
# game draws the limit divided by the multiplier. Unset, the limit is then the monitor's refresh rate instead of 60, so
# at 4x on a 165 Hz monitor the game draws about 41 fps and the screen shows 165; a limit set here is kept as it is.
# fps_limit = 60
# Where RivaTuner Statistics Server is installed and running, the limit goes into its profile for the game's
# executable and RTSS does the limiting instead of the game; closing the game puts back what the profile held.
# Changing that profile needs the game run as administrator (RTSS keeps its profiles under Program Files); without
# it, or with frame generation on, the game limits by itself, and also when RTSS's own frame counter shows the game
# well past the limit (RTSS then hooks the game without holding it back). rtss = 0 always leaves it to the game.
# rtss = 1
# 1: asks RTSS's EnumProfiles whether the game's profile exists, instead of looking for its file. EnumProfiles crashes
# the game (RTSS keeps a pointer of the game's in 32 bits); only for testing an RTSS that fixed it.
# rtss_enum = 0
# Older key, read only while fps_limit is unset: fps60 = 0 means a limit of 30.

# For measuring: only mirrors of the game's memory pools up to this many KiB send what shaders write through the
