WC3 60FPS cap question

General Discussion

Hi, in this answer I am assuming a Windows PC with 60hz screen refresh rate. I have no idea about Mac

The 60 FPS cap is caused by Vertical Sync. Vertical Sync is on, because Warcaft 3 uses “Fullscreen Windowed Mode” by default. By running Warcraft 3 in native fullscreen mode, the FPS cap will be removed. You won’t find such an option in the ingame settings menu. Instead, you have to run Warcraft 3 through a special shortcut.

  1. Right click on a shortcut pointing to Warcraft III.exe (eg the shortcut on your desktop)
  2. Append -nativefullscr to the shortcut path. It will now look like this:

And here is some guy showing how to do this on youtube.
That’s what works for me, I hope it works for you too!
