:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

I’m having this problem where my ingame fps is limited to a max of 60 fps. Normally I should be getting way higher fps but i noticed that this is only due to the fact that the game is FORCED to run at the refresh rate of my monitor. (I have a 60 hz monitor)
I don’t know if this is a new feature in the late patches, since some months ago i could play at 200+ fps, which made the game feel much more smooth and better.
Could anyone suggest a way to solve this problem? I can clearly noticed the difference and this new feature makes the gaming experience much less enjoyable for me.
Thanks in advance!

PS: V-Sync is turned off

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
The game would feel much smoother if this bug didn’t exist. I remember being able to play at higher FPS whereas now the game feels terrible.
