Roblox is still capped to 60 FPS after raising the limiter

If you have your framerate limit set to something higher than 60 FPS in the Bloxstrap menu, but you're still capped at 60 FPS, there are several reasons for why it could be happening. Every possible problem or circumstance is covered here, so just take every step into account and you'll be fine.

1. Check if you're actually being capped

This might sound a bit stupid, but some people have reported Roblox "not feeling like it's unlocked" when it actually is (lol). Just to make sure, press Shift + F5, which will open a framerate counter. Be sure you're looking at the 'FPS' stat. If it never goes any higher than 60, then keep reading.

2. Check to see if you're even using Bloxstrap

If you don't see the Bloxstrap launcher before Roblox starts, then Bloxstrap isn't even taking effect in the first place, and so your mods aren't being applied. To register Bloxstrap as Roblox's launch handler, launch the "Play Roblox" shortcut that's on your desktop. See this wiki page for more information.

3. Ensure that Bloxstrap is actually applying configured mods

Bloxstrap will skip mod checking if Roblox is already running in the background. Open Task Manager, be sure you're looking at the full view by clicking "More details" at the bottom if it's there, and make sure that Roblox isn't running. Close it if it is. Then, try launching Roblox.

Yes, we know this kinda sucks. Don't worry, we're working on making this a lot better.

4. Make sure you're not using exclusive fullscreen

If you don't know what exclusive fullscreen is, or you're not even playing Roblox in fullscreen, then skip this and move onto the next one.

Exclusive fullscreen is the alternative form of fullscreen that's enabled through the Alt + Enter key combination. However, it typically enforces VSync, which will cap to your display's refresh rate. If you're using exclusive fullscreen, exit out of it and see if your framerate is still capped. See here for more information.

5. If you're using a laptop, check your performance settings

Laptops (especially gaming laptops) will often have measures in place that reduce rendering quality to increase battery life. One of these measures is to globally cap all games at 60 FPS (or even lower). Be sure you're plugged into wall power so that performance is favoured over power consumption. If that still doesn't work, check your system control software, where performance settings are often located. Windows has one, which you can find by searching "Choose a power plan" and selecting "High performance". If that doesn't work, gaming laptops will often have their own control software (e.g. Lenovo laptops have Lenovo Vantage, yours will have something similar), where you can check for settings too.

6. If you're using an NVIDIA GPU, check the NVIDIA Control Panel

Your framerate cap may be forced in the NVIDIA Control Panel. You can look for it under 'Manage 3D Settings' and under 'Max Frame Rate'.
