ME3 Shields don't recharge @ 60fps

Currently I have to play at 30fps capped for ME3.

Before I was using 60fps cap and had no issues. Then when I equipped the Cerberus Nightmare Armor from the Citadel Arena and did a match, I had noticed that my shields were not recharging properly.

After I changed my gear back to what it was before the game continues to not charge my shields at all.

I tried changing my refresh rate to 144, 120, 60, 59 and nothing worked. The only thing that seems to work is capping the in game frame rate to 30fps. I have an MSi optix MAG271C for monitor and geforce 1060 6gb. G-Sync does not work for my monitor.

Does anyone know of anyway to fix this?

@sweetpoison0011 @holger1405 Just a quick update, the latest NVIDIA driver update that came out today has seemingly fixed all my issues.
Thanks for your help 🙂

How did you capped your framerate?

Try to cap it with the in game frame limiter to 144 and deactivate Vsync.

@FnBigIndian Try a respec on Normandy. That will force the game to reallocate the bonusses and cancel any negative effect or penalty (if you had one). From description it did look like a debuff from a tech attack persisted after the match ended.

I used the in-game frame limiter, shields only recharge at 30fps.
I was changing the Refresh Rate on my monitor to try and match what the game has the FPS capped at and that has not worked either.

That is weird... Could be related to the fact that all animated textures and effects are set to 30 fps?
Sorry, no idea how you can fix that. I can still suggest game repair but I think you already done that.

Is your monitor back at 144Hz? If not set it this way.

What GPU do you have?

Than try to set the frame rate in game to unlimited (240) and use the frame rate limiter in the driver.

(Manage 3D Settings > Application settings.)

Set it to 140 FPS.

It is important that your monitor is not set to a refresh rate that is under 140Hz.

If it don't works with 140 try 110 FPS.
