You must switch to Full Screen in the options menu to natively uncap your framerate, or use the XMODhub FPS Unlocker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #1e293b; border: 1px solid #334155; border-radius: 12px; padding: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; box-shadow: 0 4px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; color: #7dd3fc; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 12px;\">Q: Do I need to restart the game after changing Texture Quality?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #cbd5e1; margin: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong style=\"color: #94a3b8;\">A:<\/strong> Yes.
