				| 
 |  
				| I'm getting so frustrated. 
 I'm kinda spoiled, my fps have always been about 100. These days I get 40-60. I know it started about two steam upadtes back. Nothing in my system has changed. I've heard a few others mention the same problem. has anyone here had this problem....and more importantly, how did you fix it.
 
 I've got my fingers crossed that someone here can help

				| Make sure your monitors refresh rate is set at 100hz and not 60hz. Also, make sure steam didn't set your max_fps setting back to 60. Did you change resolutions? If you did, maybe that certain resolutions refresh rate is set lower than the 100hz. _________________

				| depends on wich card but it looks all a bit similar. 
 
 right click on you desktop>properties>settings>advanced> and then display, monitor or whatever it's called with your graphics card.
 
 
 and if you make your config read-only steam shouldn't be able to reset your fps_max to 60.

				| my graphics card is a geforce 4 64 meg. Its not state of the art...but it should and has always run TFC fine. 
 I checked the fps setting in my cfg and its set to 999. my monitor will only go to 85mhz...but that setting hasnt changed.
