FPS stuck at 60fps after the recent update

After the recent update, the game is stuck at 60fps. I reset everything to default, and tried editing Nvidia settings, etc - still stuck at 60 - I was doing 180fps before the update.

Even tried the suggestion mentioned in this video, but it is still not fixed: (11) APEX SETTINGS TIP: How to Uncap Frame Rate (V-Sync off and 144+ frames unlocked) - YouTube

Any idea how to fix it?

Is anybody else having similar issues?

Razer blade 15

I had this, but not after an apex update. Instead, mine was after a graphics driver update. I tried different launch settings like -fps_max unlimited in steam and all that. I messed with it for like 30 minutes and found that when I set the display mode to "Borderless window," it broke past the 60fps cap; I had it on fullscreen before. Now at about 200fps in menu and 130-160fps in game.
You could try reinstalling the game as well if you still can't get it to work.

Thanks for responding and sharing that! Since there was no response from the apex dev team I had to figure it out by myself too. For me, it was not a graphics update because I have disabled GPU or windows updates on my PC. The 'borderless window' mode is the only fix for this issue - they need to fix this in their game, so I wouldn't advice anyone reading this to reinstall their game - its too much data and not going to fix it.
