    Frame Skipping plz send halp

    So i have a nvidia 1060 graphics card and a 144hz monitor and the only way to play the game above 60 frames is to run it windowed which i have more than everything because i can sometimes click out of the game when i flick. anytime i run the game with the frame limit at 144 while in fullscreen or borderless, it will lag the higher i go above 60. Ive tried changing GamerProfile.xml and in the nvidia control panel but nothing is working. The only that seems to work for me right now is running the game fullscreen and capping it at 60 frames but still it would cap at 45 frames randomly.

    My processor is an i5-4690k @3.50TGHz but I can run the game just fine in windowed. All of my problems seem to occur when only in fullscreen and windowed borderless. I changed all of my settings to match yours and in fullscreen, my fps caps at 60 even though i capped it to 144 in the settings and it is still occasionally capping at 45 at random times. When it caps at 45 i just switch it to windowed then back to fullscreen again Again, if i put it in windowed it goes over 60 like it should. I really want to avoid using windowed at all costs because it is distracting and i tend to click out of the window at times.
