SimpleApplication higher than 60fps?

1

Is SimpleApplication limited to 60fps? I am trying to get my application to run at 100fps to match up with some data that I have, but no matter what I set my frame rate to, I get capped at 60fps. I have VSync turned off. Here’s my main:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Logger.getLogger("").setLevel(Level.SEVERE);
    Main app = new Main();
    app.setDisplayStatView(false);
    app.setShowSettings(false);
    AppSettings newSettings = new AppSettings(true);
    newSettings.setResolution(1500, 800);
    newSettings.setVSync(false);
    newSettings.setFrameRate(100);
    app.setSettings(newSettings);
    app.start();
}

Many systems have vsync forcefully turned on for all applications to avoid tearing.

On Linux you have to set an environment variable, “vblank_mode=0” to disable vsync.
On Windows, you have to go to the relevant Control Panel menu for your GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and disable vsync under 3D settings.

Thank you, that did it. If I run my application from the command line using:

vblank_mode=0 java -jar MyGame.jar

I get the right frame rate.
