Vsync caps FPS at 60 regardless of Monitor/Chosen Framerate

[Chance_Fletcher]

Hello,

 

So, I've got a beefy PC and wanted to cap the FPS at my monitor's refresh rate of 240hz(really at about 237fps, those who know, know). Because CoH is OpenGL, normal ways of FPS capping don't do anything. So, choosing an FPS cap in your driver's software just doesn't work, for instance.

The alternative to this is Vsync, which should target your monitor's refresh rate. The problem I'm having is that Vsync always seems to target 60fps.

I thought maybe choosing a refresh rate might also cap it, but it doesn't seem to do anything, I can choose any of the options and my framerate will still go beyond 240.

 

Right now, in atlas park near Ms. Liberty, I get anywhere from 210ish to 290ish FPS depending on circumstances. Since I just got this upgrade to my PC I haven't had the opportunity to play an instanced mission, since I'm still setting everything up. But, I know from experience with my last PC that instanced mission FPS jumps dramatically, which could cause all sorts of problems with syncing FPS and hz.

 

I don't know if it's a bug or not, or if I'm not using these features correctly.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.
