Glad to hear! If we run into any similar issues in the future and are able to reproduce it on our end, we'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7#5 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 20:53:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7#5 DisplayFusion Thats OK, I will still be purchasing displayfusion pro once my trial runs out. Overall it is a better program than the Actual Tools equivalent. Thanks for the help. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7#4 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 20:24:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7#4 DisplayFusion Hi Cal,

Strange, I can't seem to reproduce the issue on my end. There isn't much we can do here, as that function just prevents the window from receiving a "Focus Lost" message, so it shouldn't be having any effect on frame limiting.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7#3 Wed, 03 Feb 2021 19:14:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7#3 DisplayFusion I tested it and it happens in every game. I have refresh rate and fps limit uncapped on all of my games. The only way I can get my fps back above the refresh rate is if I disable ignore deactivation and then alt-tab out of the game then alt-tab back in.

Heroes of the storm, Quake Champions are a few that it happens for. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7#2 Wed, 03 Feb 2021 19:09:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7#2 DisplayFusion Hi Cal,

Could you list a few examples of games this is happening in? Also, do you have a refresh limit within the games settings?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 01:40:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-deactivation-limits-games-to-refresh-rate/?ID=0359713e-859d-4812-8ba6-62ce1883fdf7 DisplayFusion Whenever I enable ignore deactivation my games are limited to my refresh rate. After disabling ignore deactivation and re-tabbing back into a game the fps goes back above my refresh rate. Is there a way to use ignore deactivation while getting the most performance out of games? Thanks -Cal ]]>
