Frame limiter locking fps incorrectly in Borderless and Windowed

[Soul3cho]

Hi

Ever since a week ago my frame limiter has stopped working correctly on borderless and windowed modes in dx11

For example locking it to 60 in 120hz locks it to 40
Or in 144hz if i lock it to 72 it locks it to 47 instead

This is only ocurring on ffxiv and no other games and I have tried reinstalling drivers, reinstalling ffxiv, and resetting windows and no dice

Stuck with Rivia tuner at the moment

help

Good afternoon and thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Does this issue occur when running the game in full screen mode?

It does not

It occurs in borderless and windowed modes in dx11

[Soul3cho]

For example, I can tell its happening straight from the login screen
As if i move my mouse around in windowed or borderless the framerate rapidly drops for a moment in response
While in full screen it stays the same

Good after noon and thank you for the reply.

Could you try putting the FPS limit to "None" to see that helps?

Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support forums.

That unlocks the framerate

and yes the issue doesnt occur with that set to none

But I would like to be able to lock my fps to stable rate

[Soul3cho]

as that just means my fps runs on max and i have to limit via external software

[Soul3cho]

It ran perectly for two years so id really just like to get to the bottom of why I can no longer lock it in borderless and windowed through the ingame client

Good morning and thank you for the reply.

Is there a constant FPS you are trying to get? Cold you put the frame rate limiter is set to " None", "60","30" and "15" and provide how FPS you get for each setting?

Hi

Yes I just want to lock it to the fps the frame limiter states it is locking at

On 144hz for example
Locking to 72: locks it to 47
Locking to 36: locks it to 27

On 120hz
Locking to 60: locks it to 40
Locking to 30: locks it to 22

Both refresh modes run at 120 fps about at none
And the locks function normally in full screen and dx9

This happens as in borderless and windowed mode

I have ran this game for 2 years in my 120 hz monitor with either a 72fps lock or 60fps lock and it worked just fine so i dont understand what is causing this

Tested other games and can lock framerates in borderless or windowed accordingly without drops
