Hiya all,

For those who did not know, I am posting this to help people with 120Hz and 144Hz monitors (or just for people that have their reasons). To increase your FPS from (100) to 120 or 140 just follow these steps.

You need to edit the UserSettings.txt file under your home directory tree:

Exit both the game and launcher. Navigate to Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/
Open the UserSettings.txt file (notepad, wordpad, etc)

Change the SET MinFrameTime.2 directive to whatever you want.
For example, to cap your framerate at 120FPS (perfect for strobed backlight gaming), calculate the setting at 1/120, which is 0.00833333.

For 120FPS, it's

SET MinFrameTime.2 "0.00833333

and for 144FPS it's

SET MinFrameTime.2 "0.00694444
