When Bethesda's The Evil Within was released a few weeks ago, it was generally quite well received by the public and critics alike. However there were a lot of criticisms of the PC port, which featured a cap on the frame rate at 30 FPS, performance that regularly struggled to hit that threshold and black bars on the screen to give it that ‘intended' letterbox format. According to the developers, this was the “perfected game experience.” It totally wasn't tied to the new-gen consoles not being able to handle anything more.
Now though the developers have apparently relented and ‘fixed' these issues, dropping the black bars from the PC version and stripping away its 30 FPS cap. The full list of improvements includes:
- Frame lock settings that give 60 or 30 FPS options
- Letterbox bar removal
- Various fixes to gameplay and performance for 30 FPS mode
- Achievements now work with console enabled
- Fixed game starting in windowed mode
- A number of localisaion fixes
If you have the game on Steam, the patch should have been applied automatically.

KitGuru Says: Any Evil Within players notice much of a difference between 30 and 60 FPS? Does it make the game any better, or was it truly better with the “filmic,” 30 FPS and letterbox format?

Yay.. 60fps.. Why not just unlock it completely?
because whats the point. the human eye can only see 60fps anyway
hate letterbox formats , like why did I pay good money for a all singing dancing monitor for games to use half the screen , wonder they have not used the black bits for adverts , and no I am not suggesting they do
Good one.
Wrong fighter pilots can detect when their flight simulators drop from the 200FPS that they run at so try again
People used to say the same thing about 30fps… Using 120hz monitor for example, you can clearly notice the difference between 60fps and 120fps, at least as long as you’re not blind.
No, the human eye normaly sees at 30FPS, but when needed the human eye can see much more, it’s just a matter of getting used to if you don’t already see it, somepeople can percieve it without training other’s can’t…
That’s the catch…they were trying to throw people out of focus, i pointed that same thing in another comment on this site…
How do I get this game to work in 4K. How do they not have a fix for this?
