Enhance gameplay through import/export of key mapping files

Keyboard controls are created by mapping keys on a keyboard, mouse buttons, or Dpad and joysticks on a gamepad controller, to actions within the game, e.g., you can move, jump, slide, shoot, etc while playing the game on your PC using the keyboard, mouse or gamepad controller.. You may now share key mappings created by you, gained through the experience and insight of your skilled gameplay, with other gamers in the community. You may also leverage the key mappings created by other experts to enhance your own gameplay. Sharing your key mappings helps the community The ability to import key mappings created by others, enhances your gaming skills and elevates the levels of your game play.

BlueStacks stores key mappings in a configuration file. You may import or export the key mapping configuration files from the Advanced game controls menu as shown below.

Enable high frame rate (fps)

Serious gamers desire to play games at high frame rates (frames per second - fps), not only because their gaming PC’s have powerful GPU’s capable of generating very high frame rates and monitors that support fast/high refresh rates, but also because it makes the gameplay appear smoother, with less blurring and more crisp transitions. Gamers can now enable high frame rates for playing their favorite games. Note that there may still be limits imposed by the game itself (some games cap the frame rates at 60 fps), the maximum frame rates your PC’s  GPU can deliver and the refresh rate of your monitor.
