NVIDIA FPS throttling in unfocused windows not working anymore since a week

Issues, Workarounds & Localization General Issues

When multiboxing I use the NVIDIA setting to reduce the FPS of windows which are not in focus to reduce the load on my computer.

This used to work with DX11 untill recently; getting high FPS in the focused window and 30 FPS (that’s the setting I used in NVIDIA panel) in the unfocused windows.

Since a week or so this is no longer working, and I don’t get the 30 FPS that I chose in the NVIDIA panel, but rather something close to 60FPS (not exactly 60FPS, sometimes little higher, sometimes little lower).

Anyone has been able to still throttle the unfocused windows FPS, and did you do it? Perhaps some other setting broke the functionality?

Thanks in advance!

This issue is also really bothering me, I am trying to run 2 accounts side by side on an ultrawide monitor and my focused window is at 250 FPS and the unfocused window is at 5! FPS

The worst part is that when you switch focus to the other character there is a huge lag spike as the game all of a sudden struggles to go from 5 to 250 FPS.

PLEASE FIX THIS!
