Frame pacing issue fix

Here is a NVidia Profile Inspector[github.com] profile I created to finally fix those annoying hitches while playing the game: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApMUGr0cuN39gfw3rJ7eZFRDAlPe6A?e=T63aMx
It now runs silky smooth all the time for me, so I hope this guide will help other players too.

In-game settings: fullscreen 1920x1080, v-sync ON, high quality.

Enjoy!

Gaming laptop ASUS GL703GS, Win 10, i7-8750H (6+6 cores), NVidia 1070 8GB (Max-P), Nvidia driver 462.59, 32GB RAM, 1920x1080 144Hz G-Sync laptop screen, NVMe + SSD, XBox One BT controller

@Ñimbus
Did you set fullscreen + vsync on and the game was running capped to 60 after applying the profile? Because borderless simply forces, as any other windowed application, the desktop default res + framerate (e.g. 120Hz=120fps screen or 144Hz or 240Hz...).

It did not work for me. But the borderless windowed mode that BlakeOpaque said worked.

Just tried that (NVidia 531.61 SD) and no, you'll have micro stuttering even in menu. This workaround is better (yep, capped at 60 which is enough for this game).

For VRR I found setting a frame cap just below refresh rate in NVIDIA control panel and running in borderless windowed works. Vsync seems to cap to 60 even if you are on a higher refresh monitor.

"Drag the file"?
Select Import Profile (toolbar button with the green arrow down). Also set in-game settings as described.

Heyo!
It's quite an idiot question, but, how am i supposed to use this ? It's as simple as download the NPI and the file, drag the file to the App and select that and apply the profile ?
If so, it seems to not be working.

Thanks in advance!
