Key points
- In-game v-sync (enabled by default) caps frame rate at 30 FPS[1] and is bugged. Disable it.
- Exceeding the threshold of 60 FPS cuts down mouse speed.

High frame rate
- Game doesn't feature any FPS lock besides the disableable v-sync. However mouse view control breaks when exceeding 60 FPS. It's still possible to manually force extreme sensitivities inside the configuration file by increasing
Control.MouseSensitivity
value - The best way to avoid control issues is to play the game with a controller or by limiting the game to 60 FPS. See Mouse lag and random sensitivity.
