G-Sync in Windowed Fullscreen doesn't work since 2nd Vulkan update (end of Delirium league)

With the first Vulkan implementation in late Delirium, PoE ran perfectly.
Even G-Sync worked in Windowed Fullscreen mode, which it never did before.

Sadly, 2 weeks later, GGG published an update to Vulkan and since then, the performance is horribly compared to the first implementation. Also, G-Sync again didn't work in Windowed Fullscreen.

I always thought it would go back to it's former glory sooner or later, but it didn't happen.

Since the game can only be played in Windowed Fullscreen, because you need to alt-tab for trading etc constantly, the only solution is to play with VSync off, which is causing massive tearing.

Since Heist, I even have to disable G-Sync completely in nVidia settings, otherwise the game randomly forces itself to 20 fps until I tab in and out again.

I really wish it would work with G-Sync in Windowed Fullscreen again, the short period where it worked was amazing.

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 still can't get this to work :( I was in the same boat. It worked briefly when vulcan came out but then it stopped working again.

your fix didn't work for me, still no borderless gsync

Couldn't get it to work for 3 leagues now, this fixed it for me finally (found this on reddit)
