Weird FPS cap issue

[Redon]

So here's an update that I didn't think I was going to post...

In my attempts to find out if anyone had been dealing with the same issue before, the only thing I could find that sounded even remotely relevant was this post from one and a half years ago. A guy talking about a 100fps cap, claiming that connecting via a VPN got rid of it. Sounds crazy, but I figured why not give it a try, it can't hurt.

And what do you know, once I connect using a VPN, the issue actually disappears. Yes, somehow, using a VPN fixed the issue of getting a mysterious 100fps cap in multiplayer. And maybe not so surprisingly, it's not actually connecting from a different location that fixes it, but just running the VPN software seems to do the trick, even when it is disabled. Once I exit the program, my ingame fps goes back down to 100. Somehow the VPN qualitatively affects my connection in a way that resolves this weird problem. I have no idea what's going on, but I guess I'll be using this as a workaround for the time being.

Anyway, resolved... I guess? Strange stuff.
