I can run the game at 120+ FPS, but I don't want that because my PC gets loud. I refuse to use vsync because of considerable input lag. I experimented with various settings and I'm 90% sure the game keeps crashing because of the FPS limit using nVidia inspector, because I can run the game well without the FPS limit. NVidia inspector worked fine until August update and no console command to limit FPS works. I attached the latest crash dump the game created, hopefully it will be useful. It's a RAR file because the original file wouldn't upload.
I would really appreciate an ingame option to limit the FPS. I think Battlefield V has this option, so it is possible within the engine.
So it still isn't fixed and probably never will be. Only 'fix' is to use a program that allows to turn the FPS limit on/off during gameplay. Bandicam allows that for example. Capping FPS only after the match is fully loaded and uncapping it between matches seems to be the way to go.
