SQEnix, please undo the FPS cap.

G-sync user here. My monitor is a 2560x1440p 144hz TN panel. My build itself is running a I7-4790k@4.5ghz and a RTX 2080. I haven’t noticed any issues with screen-tearing, pixel inversion or micro-stuttering. I use MSI afterburner and RTSS to lock my frame rate at 85 FPS. Which is what I currently have the monitor itself set to display as it’s one of the display options available to me in the nvidia control panel. I am using the 1/1 option for the in game frame limiter as well so the game itself respects the global 85 FPS cap. Hopefully this helps folks in here having issues with the new in game frame limiter.

I have pretty much the same experience. 2560x1440p 144hz IPS panel, i7 4790k, but I have a MSI 980ti. Using borderless windowed I’m running up at the FPS cap without much issue except just having less FPS than before.

well if your monitor has a forced 144hz you can not play at all. So those of us with 144hz laptops are completely screwed.

Yup, mine is forced at 144Hz. I've tried the half-dozen fixes people have posted that have worked for them to no avail. Now I can't play the game except on DX9. I invested in a very expensive laptop 2 weeks before the expansion came out only to not be able to use it all for the game. I'm extremely upset.

I am happy with the new FPS cap. With unlimited, it effected other apps not running correctly such as video stuttering in a browser. I play at 1080p on a 60Hz monitor. Maybe they can keep the 90 limit as well as a 144 limit in future?

G-Sync is now working thanks to Nvidia Inspector. Pretty sad that we have to go through 3rd party apps (Such as Nvidia Inspector or Afterburner/RTSS) to get the game to function properly. I doubt it's the 10FPS loss but the game still doesn't seem as smooth as before and my video card is running 20 degrees hotter than pre-patch, with the same utilization.

*Edit*
The G-Sync on indicator is now turning on thanks to third party software, however it is clearly not working. I'm still getting the same micro stutter and tearing as before. I can change the refresh rate, problem is I can't break the hard cap of 90FPS nor can I get G-sync to enable. I'm going to try abandoning G-Sync and enabling 60 FPS V-sync when I log on later today.

[Haizen]

Did you try turning off free-sync / G-sync. That may enable you to change to fresh rate.

[VanGoghComplex]

You could already cap your FPS to whatever value you liked before this change. The 90fps hard cap is a slap in the face to people with faster monitors. It's not 2014 anymore - high refresh rate panels aren't niche, exotic tech. Lots of people have them.

[Xandos]

Just adding my voice to this as well. I am not really hindered by the FPS cap but my hardware is capable of reaching higher than 90 FPS so I would like to. Please remove the FPS cap.

[Raaben]

Yes, remove this asinine cap. Its ridiculous to think this is a decent solution to anything.

I join the forums to see if Square Enix is able to uncap the fps. I have a 144hz monitor and sadly since early access. I've been suffering from motion sickness. I wasn't sure what was causing it until my friend told me about the limited frame rate. I know it has affected me before with games like far cry and nier automata on pc.

Apart from the very good early access.
