Does anyone here use a 120-144hz monitor or are you all 60hz plebs? I've been fucking with the NewDark settings for ages to try and get shit to work properly. Ok, first of all, the game looks and feels REALLY fucking good in 144fps on a 144hz monitor. It's silky smooth without any noticeable blurring or problems aside from just one.

The problem: In 144fps (or anything over like 75 for that matter) the physics when it comes to pressure plate related puzzles bug out and update like 50x slower than they're meant to. You can stand on a pressure plate for like 30 seconds before it reaches the on position basically, meaning traps related to them always trigger late or puzzles involving them are hard to know when you're doing shit right. You can speed this up by spamming quicksave (which momentarily drops your framerate by a lot) to speed up openings of doors linked to pressure plates and shit. This is super janky and a bad workaround.

Anyway, pic related are some NewDark options related to this shit. You'd think physics frequency would be what I'm looking for and yes it does work, so does vsync mode 7 or even lowering framerate_cap to 60 but all phys_freq & vsync make the game run like shit and make looking around and movement feel really jittery, jumpy and inaccurate, framerate_cap 60 doesn't have this problem but it makes shit really fucking blurry when you're moving and looking around quickly, as if vaseline is smeared on my screen (like playing any 60fps game on 144hz). Frankly I've gotten used to how amazing the game looks and feels on 144 but this problem persists.

Does anyone know a combination of these lines (or others not pictured) that would solve my problem because the pressure plate aids is getting to me. I just want 144hz everything except physics-based puzzles/pressure plates. The phys_freq line seems to change the movement as well which is the problem here.
