Re: fps capped to 30[apex legends] tried all methods. (2024)

August 2022

Hey there@hadok891

Are you running any launch parameters or .cfg files for customization?

It's possible that if you are using custom .cfg's that the FPS has been locked there.

It's also possible that your settings got corrupted, you can try deleting them by following these steps:

  1. Press Windows Key + R
  2. Put in %USERPROFILE% and select OK
  3. Go to the Saved Games Folder
  4. Navigate to the Respawn Folder
  5. Navigate to the Apex Folder
  6. Delete the local and profile folders

(Do note that this will reset your settings, possibly deleting your keybinds too)
