Fix 5: Set the frame rate

Set your graphic card frame to 60. Some gamers found when they uncap and run anything above 60, they got massive stutter and frame dumping with RTX 3070. By the way, if you’re using Raytracing, you’d better turn if off as it was causing Deathloop not launching issue, frame drops and stuttering.
