Tokyo Xtreme Racer Best Settings For MAX FPS

Tokyo Xtreme Racer often feels sluggish or jittery due to default graphics settings and poorly tuned input dead zones. You are likely dealing with high input latency or physics engine glitches caused by unlimited frame rates. These settings will stabilize your performance and tighten your steering response for a much smoother driving experience.

Why this happens

The game engine can experience physics bugs when the frame rate is uncapped, and default controller settings often include dead zones that make steering feel unresponsive. Adjusting these values manually ensures the game engine stays stable while giving you precise control over your vehicle.

Steps

1. 01
   Navigate to Options then Graphics to set your Display Mode to Fullscreen to minimize input lag, or Borderless if you are using multiple monitors.
2. 02
   Set the FPS limit to Unlimited, but if you notice physics-related bugs or erratic vehicle movement, change this setting to 60.
3. 03
   Disable VSync to reduce input delay, as this is usually unnecessary if you are using G-Sync or FreeSync on your monitor.
4. 04
   Configure your graphics to the following: Draw Distance to Ultra, Post-Processing to Medium, Shadows to High, Global Illumination to Medium, Reflections to Medium, Effects to High, and Shading to High.
5. 05
   Set Textures to Ultra if your GPU has sufficient VRAM, and enable DLSS set to Balanced with Sharpness at 0.3 to maintain high frame rates.
6. 06
   Open the Controller menu and set Handling Dead Zone to 3, Response Time to 0.5, and Return Time to 0.1 to eliminate the spongy steering feel.
7. 07
   Set Accel, Braking, Handbrake, and Clutch to 100 Max, and enable Steering Angle Correction to ON to prevent over-steering during high-speed highway drifts.
8. 08
   Go to Game Settings and change Text Speed to Fast to ensure dialogues and menu transitions do not waste your time during gameplay.

Still not working?

If you are still experiencing frame drops after applying these settings, check your GPU driver software to ensure you are not forcing 4x or 8x anti-aliasing externally, which can conflict with the game's internal render. If the game still crashes or feels 'heavy', verify your game files through your game launcher and disable any background recording software like ShadowPlay or OBS while troubleshooting.

Frequently asked questions

Will changing these settings delete my save data?

No, these settings are stored in the game configuration files and will not affect your save progress or career data.

Why does the game physics break if I set FPS to unlimited?

The physics engine in Tokyo Xtreme Racer is tied to the frame rate; when the FPS goes too high, it causes the engine to miscalculate car positioning, leading to collisions or 'jittery' movement.

Are these settings better for keyboard or controller?

These settings are optimized for both, though controller users will benefit most from the specific Dead Zone and Response Time tweaks provided in the Controller menu.
