How to unlock FPS above 100 in CS 1.6

Type fps_override 1 in your game console, then set a higher fps_max, and your frame rate is no longer capped at 100.

fps_override

Lets fps_max go above 100 on a game client.

fps_override <0|1>

1 removes the 100 fps cap.

What it does

Since the 2013 updates the client frame rate is capped at 100 even if fps_max is higher. Setting fps_override 1 removes that cap so fps_max applies as written. It is a client setting and does not change how a dedicated server runs.

Good to know

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS 1.6 server first.
