I know, not something most people would complain about. I just got a Lenovo laptop with an i7 and Geforce video card to back up my desktop rig so I can work on stuff on the go. However while running a test or built game my frame rate is 197 fps. I'm sure most people would be ecstatic to get that. However, it actually looks terrible, almost too smooth, and a little slower than it should be. Picture yourself running through waist high water, that kind of speed. But it's not skipping or lagging. Seems like the game is running at 60 fps, but my screen is refreshing way faster and the two are not syncing. (tough to explain). I don't know a lot about video cards, and am using the 1.20 BETA. Does anyone know if some sort of frame rate cap is turned off by default, or how to turn it back on?

If I recall they removed the frame rate cap in V 1.20 BETA, but they are working on putting a new command in the next 1.20 beta to allow people to set there own frame cap.

For the time being for testing you can force enable vsync in the nvidia control panel

Easily fixed with plrspeedmod in a script.

However, I actually LOVE the uncapped framerate. Drops in FPS (if there is any) is almost unnoticeable and it gives player's with older hardware a good chance at playing your game when they otherwise couldn't play it before!

I can't see how the uncapped framerate would help older hardware play your game. Perhaps you're talking about the timer-based movement instead?

Good Call, I forgot about that. I'll see how it runs tonight.
