Make sure to rate the guide, so more people that need this will see it front page.
Open your Nvidia control panel, and head to "Manage 3D settings"

You will see 2 tabs:
Global settings and Program settings.
Click Program settings, then check if the game appears in the default list.
If it doesn't - un-check "show only programs found on this computer".



Go to "1.Select a program to customise" and start scrolling down until you find "theHunter: Call of the Wild (thehuntercotw_f.exe)" and select it.



Under "2.Specify the settings for this program" scroll down to "Max Frame Rate"




Click on the drop down arrow, select "on" and then input the wanted FPS limit for the app then hit "Ok" and then "Apply".
(You can limited to whatever you want, 30, 60, 80, 120 and so on.)







If the panel doesn't find the games .exe, try these:

In the "manage 3d settings" right above the list of already "found" .exe's, there's an "add" option which opens an arrow scroll down of currently running things.
Try launching THCOW while the panel is open, and then click that add and see if it appears there.

and:
In NVIDIA GeForce experience, click scan for games/add a game manually to register it with the app.


Have fun~

this doesnt work for me. says access dennied. like oops forgot i dont own the machine im using. my bad. thought I was the one who bought the parts. but no, so other entity gets to decide how MY machine is used and wether or not it gets to limit its FPS

Thanks for making this guide, it made FEAR 2 playable. This was the fix I needed and the only one that worked.

Another thing to try:
In NVIDIA GeForce experience, click scan for games/add a game manually to register it with the app, might solve the issue!

Regarding global settings, you'd need to ask NVIDIA's support. I can't fix it for them :/

Had a twitching glitch in Skyrim and found out that I had to limit the game's max fps to below 120. Your guide helped to do that. Thanks a lot!

Why doesn't global setting work with every game??
