New Patch Killed VSync

[Onimusha]

The new patch introduced frame rate limiting but VSync can no longer be activated. If you switch VSync to on, it doesn't lock fps to your refresh rate.
I preferred VSync for this game because limiting fps introduces screen tearing for me even though i have FreeSync on my monitor and cap fps below my monitors refresh rate.

TLDR. You must have messed up VSync somehow.

i haven't been able to even play due the steam appid / token error .. as about vsync, you can enable it in nvidia control panel. i havent used AMD for over 10 years, but i'm 100% sure they also have setting for it.

when using nvidia, go to nvidia control panel > manage 3D settings > program settings > add helldivers2.exe (if it doesn't already exist) and then near bottom "vertical sync" change to ON

After fiddling around with Afterburner, it somehow works again. I switched off the in-game limiter because it wasn't that good and limited fps with Afterburner, which got me better results. I then tried to switch VSync back on and switched Afterburner off. Now VSync works again. It didn't before. I only noticed that because my rig went really hot after playing a couple hours. Turns out i was playing without any caps and my videocard was working its butt off.
There are still some kinks in this. I keep on monitoring my fps from now on.
