Additional customization options are accessible thorough the config.ini file located in the root directory of your Exception install.  This is typically under:

[your steam install folder]/SteamApps/common/Exception/Exception_Data/config.ini

Open config.ini in a text editor to make changes.

Note: If you would like to reset the ini file to default settings, delete the config.ini file and then restart the game. A new file will be generated.

Set an FPS target

– Change useTargetFrameRate=0 to useTargetFrameRate=1
