Additional context OS: W11 GPU: RX6800 RF2 running in a borderless window Purchased version of simhub It seems that losing focus on the game dashboard refresh just goes as it is to be

Thanks

Hi !

This looks like some performances botteleneck could you check your GPU load ? Also make sure that the game fps are capped (vsync ...) so simhub has some remaining GPU power.

[DesmoGiec]

Sorry for the late reply, I wasn't home. I've found a "solution". I've tried in windowed mode, which will work as the same as borderless to me, and simhub just goes perfectly fine. Still, on borderless gpu is never @ 100%, but I play without vsync, using freesync. Well, in windowed works, so that's ok for me. Thanks :)
