Recommended Work Around for Monitors with High Refresh Rates (120Hz, 240Hz etc)
While we’ve been able to solve the refresh rate issue for some players on 144Hz monitors, the fix has not been working for everyone.
Our current recommended work around for this is to change the Death’s Gambit application settings using the NVIDIA Inspector tool or RadeonMod inspector. These applications will allow you to set the frame limit of Death’s Gambit to 60 FPS and should resolve the issue for most users. We're continuing to look into a permanent fix, and other issues as we continue to support Death's Gambit now and into the future.
