Setting an FPS cap on the PC version 

This guide goes over 2 different methods of enforcing a cap to either 144 fps (the game's natural max) or 60 fps (the most common standard, equal to PS4/XBoxOne). A lot of mechanics in the game are tied to FPS and both have advantages and disadvantages. The game doesn't have an internal way to do this, but you can use these external methods to play at either of the recommended FPS caps.
