30 FPS Lock?

[Sister of the Trenches]

I have a 60hz display, and I capped the game at 60 FPS with Vsync on. I've already gone through my Nvidia software for game settings optimization, but the game insists on running at a consistent 30 FPS no matter what I do.

I searched for other people having this issue, but all I found were crash issues, and random frame drops. This is a consistent 30 FPS, and if I wanted that, I'd have just bought it on console last year.

Actual yet?

There's no 30fps lock in this game so something odd is going on with nVidia's vsync,

Have you checked the nVidia control panel (not GeForce Experience) to ensure V-sync is NOT set to "V-Sync Half Refresh Rate" as that will cap you at 30fps.

I usually find "adaptive" to be the best general setting

Other usual culprits is that your desktop refresh rate is set to 30fps - so worth checking those settings in Windows as well.

You need to learn how vsync works that is perfectly normal...

I didn't even know this existed. Thanks. I've been a console gamer most of my life, until around 2014 when the next gen consoles all just pissed me off enough to switch. I've been using GeForce Experience this entire time as that was the only thing that ever opened up when I clicked on it. I'll give this a go real quick.

Do yourself a favor and ditch Geforce experience... It is great to be notified of driver updates, but the whole "let me tweak your game for you" is horrible. Install it, but configure it so that it never tampers with your games setting.

I mean, I kind of already DO configure my own games. I let it determine what it thinks is the best settings, and then I tweak them from there in the in-game menus, so...

Yeah. I was wrong about Vsync for all that time. Turn off Vsync, and don't trust GPU software to manage all of your settings; set them manually.
