G-Sync currently not working in Windowed modes

Hi,

In PoE currently G-sync is only working in fullscreen mode. In all windowed modes the monitor refreshrate is not adapting. Of course i have set up G-sync in the NVIDIA control panel to work in fullscreen and windowed modes and I also tested it with other games and there G-sync is working in windowed modes aswell as fullscreen, so it seems to be an issue unique to PoE in its current state as i remember ,like 3 leagues ago the last time I played, it was working properly back then.

I'm kinda over PoE with windowed gsync.

Everyone always says "it's your drivers/windows"... I avoid updating my drivers & update windows as little as I can possibly get away with, and windowed gsync support still seems to vary from one patch to the next in PoE.

I don't know what it is about PoE in particular, but it just seems flakey with windowed gsync & any change which improves matters will shortly be followed by another one which stuffs it up again.

So is windowed fullscreen gsync isn't possible then? I'm on win 7 64bit, fullscreen gsync works perfectly but I cannot get windowed to work at all.

I got a new Monitor and a new RTX 3080 will test with this new setup and report my findings.

Any news?

I started having this issue after updating my drivers for the 3080. I was able to find a resolution thanks to daxtep. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2954597/page/1

FIXED:

Start PoE, change from Vsync off to Vsync on, Restart.

On restart the G-Sync actually started working.
Restarting didn't fix this previously. Seems like a recent patch fixed this.

Can be closed.

I don't know why this fixed it for me however it did. I hope it may fix it for someone else.
