    @candiecoatediv  Right-click on your desktop and select the Nvidia Control Panel, then Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings.  Choose ts4_x64.exe from the dropdown menu, scroll down to Max Frame Rate, set it to On, enter 144 as the limit, and click Apply.

    You can see your in-game framerates with the cheat fps on ; the number will appear in the lower left corner of your screen, above the UI.  The cheat fps off makes the number disappear.

@candiecoatediv  I believe "default" means the game will respect the system settings, whatever those are.  So if you haven't set an fps limit through your graphics control software or another app, there will be no framerate limit at all.

If you'd like to play in windowed fullscreen, it's easy to set an fps limit.  If you need help doing so, let me know what make of graphics card you have—Nvidia or AMD—and I'll post instructions.
