Please remove 60FPS cap in lobby and pre-match

So I've been using DirectX11 atm because i had crashes on DX12 and the framerate was uncapped in lobby and pre-match.

Respawn can we please get this back for DX12? It's ridiculous that I have to look at the lobby with 60FPS on a 700$ GPU. I know this is intentional but at least please give us an option in the settings to turn the cap off.

Or does anybody in the community here know how I can uncap my FPS in the lobby? It just feels smushy to look at animations, opening packs etc. with such a low framerate. It also makes last second legend switches in the legend select screen unpredictable because the mouse movement feels wrong and out of place.

  • Just checked in DX12, the FPS seems to be capped to 60 FPS as intended, same for the DX11 version.
    If you are being locked to 30 then there might be something else going on, though I'm not exactly sure what could be causing that, as it would seem a tad unlikely for the game to do it from itself, unless it was changed via a config in some way (Assuming it's possible to begin with)

    Are you running the game in fullscreen?

    Personally I don't really see much of a difference on the main menu at 60 FPS, and even with a high-grade GPU it's good to give my hardware some time to chill before hopping in the next match.
    Though definitely a hard agree that there should be an option to switch the lobby FPS cap off. Especially for the legend select menu, could see it being useful to prevent stutters at a higher FPS so players can select a legend without anything messing up, but it would definitely be nice to see the fancy animations in all their high FPS glory.

    oops, i meant 60, not 30. my bad. but either way... it makes the lobby a pain for high FPS players and opening packs, looking at animations etc. is very unsatisfying like this.
