Game always goes back to 50Hz

[Riekopo]

For some reason my game always defaults back to 50Hz in the settings. I don't know why it's doing this. I have always had a 60Hz monitor. I have an Asus PB238Q.

DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/CK2/settings.txt. From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ directory, post system.log .

Here you go Mr. Andrew. system/log doesn't show up when I click upload a file so here it is below.

[AndrewT]

As you can see, the game detects that 1920x1080 is supported at 50, 59 and 60 hz. And it initially picked 60hz there, and that settings.txt shows it using 60hz.

Where exactly are you seeing it at 50hz?

Every single time I go to the in game settings it says 50Hz. http://i.imgur.com/rvzkjnt.jpg

 

[Aardvark Bellay]

If i recall correctly that's could be an issue in some specific mode, windowed i think..
It's only the displayed Hz number that is wrong, while it actually is at 60.

At least that was an officlal explanation once.
A long time ago in another universe...

Could be related.
Just a guess on my part.

 

[AndrewT]

If i recall correctly that's could be an issue in some specific mode, windowed i think..

His settings.txt shows he's in standard full screen mode though ... in any case I agree this is likely a cosmetic issue.

 

[Riekopo]

I upgraded to Windows 10 and installed a new Samsung 850 Evo SSD. I'm still having this issue though. It still says 50Hz.

[AndrewT]

If you edit settings.txt to say:

refreshRate=60
fullScreen=yes
borderless=no

Does that change?

 

[Riekopo]

If you edit settings.txt to say:


Does that change?

Just tried it and no it still says 50Hz. I noticed in the settings there is anisotropic filtering and bloom. Can these options be turned on?

 

[AndrewT]

They certainly can, but I don't believe they'l have any effect on the refresh rate.
