Fps capped at 144

After reading the patch notes and playing this game for a couple weeks in over 200 FPS I don't know where to turn for info on how to fix the issue of being capped at 144-145 frames while playing Apex Legends, "Capped PC FPS to 300 to balance improving stability but still letting you folks enjoy those sweet frames." Is a quote from the patch. I wouldn't mind being uncapped or at 300 frames, but that isn't the case, my frames were uncapped before the patch because i have a 240 hz monitor and I like using it. I don't know if this is an unintentional issue but it is a frustrating performance issue. Every fix that I had found for this pre-season 1 is no longer working so I don't know if its something Respawn can fix but right now I'm not enjoying any "sweet frames"

    Hey all!

    This is currently a in-game bug and is being investigated.

    "In the last patch we made an update with the intent to cap frames at 300 if players bypassed the default 144 frames per second. This introduced a bug that capped frames to 144 regardless if players uncapped it or not. In the next patch we’ll be fixing this so the cap is 300 as intended."

  • thanks for the update Zeel, I kinda knew this because I've been checking forums constantly to see if there is an update. Any idea when this "fix" patch is coming though because I barely log on the game anymore @Zeelmaekers

    Depends how fast the Respawn team can push out that update.
    Should be in next patch but there can always be a delay.

    144FPS isn't that bad to play in.
