Brief description of the issue:

Variable Refresh Rate / AMD Freesync is no longer working correctly with SU11. I am no longer experiencing the unlocked frames I had before this update while running the sim at 4k/120hz. Please note this is not an Xbox issue as my other games still utilize VRR just fine. This has turned my sim back into a slideshow. It is obvious even with moving the mouse cursor/panning views around that there is a severe frame rate lock going on that should not be occuring with variable refresh rate enabled. I am not the only one noticing this issue.

Can’t believe not so many complaining about this. Probably because just a few people have compatible TVs?

This is just another thing they will literally ignore and will simply be lost forever.

Sim Update 11 is a complete tragedy for Xbox Series X. Atrocious graphics downgrade, persistent annoying white dot and now this VRR issue.

Thankfully, I uninstalled everything last week and I’m not regretting or even missing it. My wallet is now safe from Marketplace too.

I believe they said there is a bug with the thing that detects the framerate, and that is bringing the lod down unnecessarily. Let´s hope that this bug is also the cause of our issue with vrr, otherwise i don´t see myself returning to the game, ever.

LOD and VRR are now both fixed in the latest beta build… :metal: Worth it for me to stay in beta.
