I usually set a frame limit of 60 FPS for the game in the NVIDIA graphics settings. And 20 FPS for background mode. However, yesterday I discovered that the game consistently gives 20 FPS, regardless of what I do with the game window. As far as I understand, nVidia or Windows thinks that the Eve window is constantly in the background. As a result, in order not to play at 20 FPS, I had to disable the FPS setting for the background mode. Everything worked fine, but now, when the Eve window is in the background, I can no longer save so many computer resources since the game gives out much more than 20 FPS in the background. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Is there any way to solve this? P.S. Apparently, this happened after installing the new NVIDIA driver and updating NVIDIA Experience. ---
