Hello everyone,

As you may know, Layers of Fear 2 is heavily influenced by the framerate. For a while, I played at 60fps, which limited the game's speedrun potential. This is why I am writing this to let anyone willing to run this game know the correct way to play.

In the game's settings, select "No Limit" next to "FPS" and disable V-Sync. This will allow the game to go up to 144fps, its maximum framerate. This way, the mechanics of the game will be sped-up. For instance, the rotating set in The Unmooring, the puzzles in The Hunt, and the literal running speed of your character. Everything is faster with a higher framerate.

Because Layers of Fear 2 is relatively inactive and few runners attempted to run it over the years, no rule was added to limit the game's FPS to 60 in order to give everyone a chance to compete even with a less powerful computer. Sorry about that. However, it feels too late to add it now that the majority of the runs have been performed at 144fps. I hope this quick guide will put things straight for everyone. Don't hesitate to tell us what you think in the Discord or the game's forum.

Thank you for reading and good luck on your runs!
