how to remove fps lock?
Me and my friend both experienced a lock on the fps. Downgrading our graphics wouldn't work. Has anyone have any idea how to remove max fps cap? By a console command or something like that? Thanks :)

I don't think this game even has an FPS lock mechanism. I personally get 200 FPS if I have VSync disabled and I know guys who can get up to 1000 FPS.

The only thing that would "lock" your FPS in this game is VSync. VSync caps your max FPS depending on what monitor you have. E.g. 60 Hz monitor = 60 FPS in game.

If you want more FPS you have to disable "VSync" in the Video Settings while you are in a match (You can press F7 to show your current FPS at the top of your screen).

Be warned though! Some people experienced overheating problems when they disabled VSync.

huh, I had no idea V-Sync locked the fps. Not that I'd need anything over 60 anyways... I'll have to try this later.

VSync can actually be really useful if you have high-end hardware and are playing a low-end, badly optimized games with no FPS lock mechanic (like this one *cough* *cough*).

Without VSync my PC would go absolutely insane while running this game and I see no difference between 60 FPS or 200 FPS anyway on my monitor so ye I am using VSync (at least for this game) too :P

No vSync option for me. Usually i've got around 400 fps. Now 30..

Well If you really have VSync OFF and you still only get 30 FPS then I don't know the cause for that sorry. Although the fact that it locks at exactly 30 FPS (some monitors have 30 Hz display options) seems a little odd to me.

Maybe try switching the display modes on your monitor? Just press the buttons :P

Another thing you could do is try to go into your NVIDIA settings and see if anything is in there that would lock your FPS to 30.

Other than that I have no idea what could cause this problem for you. Maybe someone else can help you.

I have a pretty nice laptop, and have no issues getting more than 60 fps.

Just had no idea v-sync locked it to 60... but yea I do have it on, will try later without it on and see if there is any difference.

Why play more than 60fps? you wont notice the difference between 100 fps and 60 fps.

Also playing on more than 60fps can cause a "screen tearing" effect
