Description of issue
HOI4 Does Not Run at Selected Refresh Rate

Game Version
1.11.10

Enabled DLC


Do you have mods enabled?
No

Description
If you select a refresh rate in the graphics settings, the game will not run at that refresh rate in various ways. Please see below for examples.

Fullscreen DX11
-60Hz up to 144Hz and anything in between
--Game will start but you have to "Alt-Tab" because the game starts running at 59Hz-60Hz regardless of your selection. After "Alt-Tabbing" the game will then run at the specified refresh rate. Without "Alt-Tabbing" during or after the game has loaded, you are unable to select boxes such as "Single Player" Multi Player" "Settings" etc. Everything is misaligned pixel wise until "Alt-Tabbing".
--Even after "Alt-Tabbing" the game is then SYNCS to the specified refresh rate (evident due to the monitor not having to change refresh rates when "Alt-Tabbing" to your desktop for example" however the maximum FPS seems to limit below the selected refresh rate. At 144Hz for example, the main menu stops at around 110FPS, and the game while paused on the main map limits to about 75Hz. Even after manually adjusting the refresh rate in the Settings file, the game will NOT max out at 144FPS.

I am running the following specs,
Windows 10 64Bit
Intel i7 7700k
Nvidia RTX 3060
LG GSYNC Compatible 1440P 144Hz monitor

It is worth noting that I also had this issue with my previous LG non-GSYNC 1080P monitor running a GTX1060.

Thanks, hopefully this is resolved. Much appreciated guys, thanks for your hard work!

Steps to Reproduce
Run game in fullscreen DX11 mode and select various refresh rates.
