Developed and published by Offworld Industries, Starship Troopers Extermination, is the latest addition to the classic Starship Troopers series. The game was released in early access on Steam on May 17, and the first looks are really promising. Fans who have purchased the game have already fallen in love with it. This sentiment is reciprocated by the “very positive” ratings. Anyway, with the early access version being live now, how do you turn on VSync in Starship Troopers Extermination? Let us walk you through the steps in this article.
Starship Troopers Extermination is a 16-player co-op FPS title. The players can assume the role of one of the three trooper classes: Assault, Support, or Defense. The game starts with the players being dropped on the planet of Valaka. Now, they have to complete the missions and reach the extraction point, all while defeating the bugs. The game includes five types of bugs: Drones, Warriors, Gunners, Plasma Grenadiers, and Tiger Elites. As you and your teammates approach the extraction point, you also have to build bases that will serve as defense mechanisms against these bugs. While all these sound interesting, some essential features are missing in the game. One such example is VSync.
How do You Turn on VSync in Starship Troopers Extermination?
For players who are unfamiliar with VSync, it stands for Vertical Synchronization. Turning on VSync in a game will force the game’s frame rate to match the refresh rate of your monitor. With the frame rate and the refresh rate synchronized, your game runs more smoothly without any screen tearing problems. However, this adjustment or synchronization can at times prove to be sluggish. VSync causes a delay in the game to adjust to the refresh rate of your monitor, which can result in lags and an unsatisfactory gaming experience.
With this in mind, players have to turn on or off the VSync according to the game they are playing. If you have purchased Starship Troopers Extermination from Steam, then you may have noticed that there is no in-game option to turn on (or off) VSync. However, we have a workaround you can try to manually enable/disable the setting. Here are the steps.
- Go to “%localappdata%\Yakisoba\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor”.
- In this directory, find the “GameUserSettings.ini” file.
- Here, find the line that reads “bUseVSync=False”. You have to change the line to “bUseVSync=True”, and then save the changes before exiting the file.
- On the contrary, if your VSync was turned on already, it would show “bUseVSync=True”. You can change it to “bUseVSync=False” and save the settings if you wanted to turn off VSync in the game.
This is how you can turn on VSync in Starship Troopers: Extermination. The popularity of the Early Access version of this game points toward a massive success. However, the developers should focus on bringing the essential settings into the game, including VSync before its global release.
