- Edit
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\EvoGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini - Copy paste the following code at the bottom of the file or change all instances of 144 to desired refresh rate
[/script/engine.engine]

Notes
- Increasing the framerate cap will result in slowdown if you do not hit the desired framerate
- Testing on i7 9700KF and RTX 3090 on 1440p at 165fps results in many drops to 100-120fps which equates to a linear 28-40% slowdown on shooting, reloading, and movement
