Is anyone playing this game using a High Refresh rate of like 144hz or higher? If so, what resolutions playing Links are you able to use with Maximum Refresh rate of 144hz or higher? Also please list make and model of monitor. Thanks.

I had issues with my Asus VG248 Monitor running Links and getting the same refresh rate of 144 each time I load Links, its like a random selection where sometimes I will get 144 and other times as low as 30 which makes the swingmeter totally ghosted and unplayable. I went out and bought a Sceptre 165Hz 25" monitor on Amazon for $170 only to find it will only do Refresh rates higher than 75 if I use Max Resolution 1920X1080, which Links does not support reliably, and when I am able to get Links working at 1920X1080, the swingmeter is way too small to see. The fix to this in the old days was DIrectx was able to force refresh rate for each game, but the latest version of Directx Win 10 uses does not give that option anymore.

Have you ever considered just playing the Game and enjoying it for what it is ?

I am sorry but I am disabled, and my government job has been paying my salary to stay home for many years now because Workers Comp Doctors say I cannot be on a computer that is less than 100 Hz refresh rate. if I am caught violating work's Dr's orders, it is a Felony for disability fraud and up to 20 years in Prison, and that doctor diagnosis has been in effect before Links 2001 ever came out.

George, how many times has anyone came out to your house to see what your monitor's refresh rate is at? Just curious.
