120 fps. Make Factorio smoother

1. 120 hz refresh rate monitor (or higher)
   
2. Lossless Scaling

I bought Losless Scaling two years ago for FTL: Faster Then Light (Integer Scaling). I tested it; it worked, and I forgot about it...

Recently, I read about LS in a few places, praising how good it is (doubling and tripling fps with its Frame Generation algorithm). And now, when Space Age came out, I noticed a fellow engineer talking about how good it is (https://steamcommunity.com/app/427520/discussions/0/4693405608847473924).

So I tested it myself to find out.

And it is great. No screen tearing. No input lag. No artifacts. It makes Factorio even better.

I'll show you how I set it up, and it's very easy. No screenshots. Will write only changes to default settings.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Lossless Scaling. It should work with older GPU's. Use it at your own risk, and research more if you have doubts.

   • LSFG 2.3
     
   • Mode: X2
7. That's it. Run Factorio; LS should automatically detect it and apply settings.
   
8. Enjoy a more fluid, smoother experience!

You can experiment and modify some settings (Clip cursor, G-Sync support, Draw FPS, etc.).
G-sync is working for me (my monitor adjusts refresh rate to ~120 hz, no screen tearing).
