Technical Support (Path of Exile 1) - FPS inexplicably locked in DX12 but unlocks on any other API - Forum

Just like the title says, if I switch the game to the DirectX 12 renderer my fps will be capped at 144 (my monitor's refresh rate). I can have the FPS cap setting and Vsync both turned off, but the FPS remains locked even if I toggle those settings on and off. I have also tried closing and opening the game after switching to DX12, as well as a full computer restart. POE Remains at 144 capped fps until I switch to any other API. However, if I switch back to Vulkan OR DX11 my FPS is unlocked again and back up to 400ish in the title screen, as expected. Vysnc and the foreground FPS cap option also work here as expected, if I choose to use them. Very strange behavior.

You won't get a response unless you put "MTX issue" in your post, otherwise, they don't care about your problems.	Posted by ChewableTrash#2133 on Jun 7, 2022, 10:02:35 AM Quote this Post

Here's just 3 posts that are not MTX issues on the first page of this forum alone: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3280023 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3278809 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3275729 GGG doesn't have the time, nor staff, to reply to every last single flippin thread.
