Re: Season 1 capped at 144fps???

Hey there!

You can uncap your FPS by following these steps:

  1. Open Origin
  2. Go to My Game Library and left click on Apex Legends
  3. Click the 'Settings' cog (Under 'Play')
  4. Click 'Game Properties'
  5. Navigate to the 'Advanced Launch Options' tab
  6. In the command line, type: +fps_max unlimited

Using 'Adaptive 1/2' will not only remove the FPS cap, but also ensures the highest minimum FPS drops.

  • Hey!

    Thanks for the dxdiag.

    Can you try this ?

    • go to NVIDEA control panel.
    • Manage 3D settings
    • Program settings
    • select Apex Legends (Can't find apex legends? add it.)
    • Scroll down till you see Tripple buffering and Vertical sync
    • Disable both these options.
    • Hit apply

    This should solve your issue.
    Let me know if this worked!

    Hello

    I did the modification in Nvidia Pannel

    But is not working still cant reach the 170fps like before

    Still get capped at 144 ~ 150

    I think there is a link between season 1 update and this limitation

    Many screen are 240hz or +144hz now i hope EA gonna fix it soon

    I see a topic with the same problem has me

    @qAT1n I am curious, do you drop frames a lot? Like from 144 down to 100 or less?
  • Hey @qAT1n 

    Update: 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."

    Not so much drops but if you want good fluidity and good graphics card i got GTX1080 OCED

    you get good 150fps constant with OCCLUSION OFF

    The rest is MAXED OUT

    1920x1080

    I have 1080 GTX Ti myself I stopped playing for a few weeks and came back when the season was starting. I noticed immediately that I was constantly dropping frames from ~90 when the game start at the drop ship to around ~110 at open areas and ~144 at closed areas. Before that I was at 144 constantly. Something happened and I see that I am not the only one affected.
