Raising the FPS cap from 60 to 120
A player asks how to unlock 120 FPS on an NVIDIA laptop. The answer: open NVIDIA Control Panel, go to 3D Settings > Program Settings, add Kathana, and set Max Frame Rate to 120; if the game still sticks at 60, the monitor's refresh rate is the limit. A follow-up reply covers Linux (Ubuntu) users capping FPS with mangohud via a Steam launch option.
nvidia control panel -> find "3d Settings" -> click "Program Settings" -> Find Kathana or Add it manually -> Max Frame Rate = 120
Might locked by your monitors refresh rate.
for Linux (Ubuntu) user:
install mangohud with apt sudo apt install mangohud, then add this launch option on kathana properties in steam:
MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps_limit=60,no_display" mangohud %command%
remove no_display if you wanne see the statistics on screen like FPS/GPU and graph
