aaengine.ini
-
bSmoothFrameRate=True
MinSmoothedFrameRate=20
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=120

Hey Art, you need to go into your aagame.ini or aaengine.ini file and change the lines like bmaxsmoothframerate, bminsmoothframerate, and one more frame rate. I can't tell you exactly because I'm on my tablet and not at my computer ATM, but there are only the 3 lines you need to change the values on and only in the one file since the latest patch. Hopefully, someone can give you the exact info before I get back.

Remember to make a copy of the original in case you need to revert because of a typo.

BTW, I have mine set to 120 and smoothframerate=TRUE

If you ever change the settings from in- game then you have to go back to the INI file to redo since the game is set to 60.

Hope this helps some.

where's the thanks button? tx guys!

Since I was facing the same problem without real instructions I'm gonna tell you how I did it (it works but I have no idea if this is the best/fastest way).

You wanna find both of these two files (not sure if one works, I always changed both just to be sure):
-BaseEngine.ini located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\America's Army\AAPG\Engine\Config
-AAEngine.ini located at C:\Users\*yourusername*\Documents\My Games\America's Army Proving Grounds\AAGame\Config

Open both files and use Ctrl+F to search for "framerate" in both of these files, change bSmoothFrameRate to true if it isn't already set on true and change MaxSmoothedFrameRate to the value you want to cap your FPS at. Save the files, start your game and join a server to see if it worked. It probably will mess up your graphic seetings and won't even work at the first try so don't bother changing the graphics to your preferences again. Just close your game and do the same for both files, for me the AAEngine would always reset bSmoothFrameRate to false for some reason.
After a few tries it should eventually work (always about three tries for me) and you can change your graphic settings again.

If anyone knows how to do that properly, please post it here because it is really annoying to do everything three times until the game finally decides to trust me. Hope this will help anyone curious about it anyway.

Some servers will kick you for having a better pc by doing this.

I wonder if they'll figure out how stupid that is when the full release lets you go higher than the current in game limit of 90.

Make sure you scroll to the bottom of aaengine.ini. None of the other entries matter.

kill@ it looks like instructions are above, did you try that easier way??

Yeah, changing that file only was my first try. After that didn't work someone told me about that second config in the documents so I tried changing that as well. Since it still didn't work I checked both files again and found my documents one changed bSmoothFrameRate back to false. Maybe it's just like this for me, I got it to work eventually though.
If it works for you with only changing the file in your steam folder that's great, if it doesn't just try what I did. So glad when it's gonna be an in-game setting with the release, so annoying to change the ini with every patch.

t[F]s.ARTAQ · May 2015

yea i followed ekcomm's instructions and in-game it still says 90fps in the top right corner...i saved the file and did this while AAPG and steam were closed.
guess i'll have to try your way kill@, thanks for the info!

iNv|eKComm · May 2015

yeah as kill said, you have to change the ini in your my documents.
-
forgot to say that.

Also, there may be two locations where you need to change the values in the aaengine.ini

t[F]s.ARTAQ · May 2015

ok trying that now...so does yalls fps read 120 or 144 in green on the top right of your screen in-game?? mine still only says 90

iNv|eKComm · May 2015

I have heard from a few that they need ot make it read only to prevent their changes from being wiped

t[F]s.ARTAQ · May 2015

2nd time was the charm, works now! thanx again fellas

t[F]s.ARTAQ · May 2015

someone is telling me that my old LCD monitor (60hz max) could have done 144 fps the same as my new 144hz monitor and that i wasted the money. if so, what benefit does a higher hz monitor have??

.dcG-Colts^ · May 2015

lightboost, If you want to use it. And personally I find them to be much much smoother. Also whoever told you that above has no clue what they are talking about.

-PPaaxx- · May 2015

I don't believe that 'someone'. Maybe 1hz is sufficient also!?

There's a miscommunication happening somewhere.

There's what your computer generates and then there's what your monitor can display. While your PC could have been sending 144 fps to your old monitor, it could only physically change its image fast enough to show 60 different images. The 144Hz monitor can refresh its displayed image more quickly and show each of those frames it's getting.

It is possible to overclock a 60Hz LCD, but the results are very much hardware-dependent. I've overclocked two different LCD screens. One got up to 65Hz, another up to 67Hz; anything above that wouldn't display properly.

60 hz is 60hz ,some Korean model monitors can be overclocked a bit but the general average is what BCPull wrote.Your GPU is capable of delivering the 144 frames or more but those will never be displayed on a 60Hz monitor properly as they will on a 144Hz.

IO_i_OI · May 2015

There is a big difference on your eyes from 60Hz to 144Hz. The screen images are much sharper and vivid. The biggest impact is if you are using a monitor for long hours at work or gaming then the high frequency is more gentle on your eyes and they become less tiring.

more than 90fps: how?
