Mafie 3 Update Will Fix 30FPS Lock on PC

The internet has been screaming about Mafia 3 being locked at 30FPS this week, and thankfully it seems developer Hanger 13 has been listening calmly. The company has stated that they’re working on an update for the PC version of the game, which will allow for higher framerates, and that they’ll have this update out in time for the weekend; hurray!

Hanger 13 first released the following statement:

“We are currently working on an update for PC that will give players the option to play Mafia III at higher framerates. We’ll share more details about the update, and when you can expect it to arrive, very soon. In the meantime, the team welcomes feedback and would like to hear from you about what performance adjustment options are important to you. We’re actively considering a number of additional post-launch improvements on PC that would give players more control over how they can tailor the game’s experience to suit their rig’s performance.” –

They later followed up with:

“We currently have a patch running here at the studio that includes 30, 60, and unlimited frames-per-second options in the video menu, among other improvements for the PC version of Mafia III. We’re verifying the patch now to ensure everything is working as expected. If everything goes well, we expect the update to go live this weekend. We will be keeping the PC community up-to-date on the status of the patch throughout the weekend and thank you for all the feedback!”

It’s great that they fixed this problem so fast, as 30FPS just isn’t an acceptable figure in the PC gaming community for any situation, so it worries us when we see developers lock down to 30FPS.

Will you be playing Mafia 3 now that the framerate issues are being fixed?
