Battlefront 2 forcibly turns g-sync on.

Something I forgot to add is that even though it turns it on when the game is open the control panel setting still reads as off whether it actually is or isn't on.

Have you tried resetting your settings back to default? There's a similar post on the Nvidia subreddit but in reverse.

So I've tried it and it looked like it was going to work but for some reason it started again, it was working for a good bit until I reopened it later to see if it stuck but, nope. Could you link the thread for that other thing? I'd like to see it cuz from what I've seen I couldn't find anything similar to my problem; But yes once again battlefront still forces g-sync on. Is it possible to find and hook somewhere in the config or something what might be doing this? or something I can add to the config that might counter this?

Click on the "similar post" link in my response to see that thread.

Hello,

Sorry for necro, but this is excactly the problem I have and the first hit on google. Also, it doesn't look like it's ever been resolved.

So whenever I start the game, it automatically turns on G-Sync, even if it's disabled in Nvidia settings. These are the excact steps I take:

1. I turn off V-Sync + G-Sync in Nvidia global settings by unchecking the boxes and changing the dropdown menus for V-Sync to "off". I apply.

2. I start the game. Now, the screen flickers and the hardware FPS counter built into my monitor appears. Note: This FPS counter only appears if G-Sync is active! It doesn't work without G-ync.

3. I Alt+Tab to check the Nvidia settings and the boxes are still unchecked, V-Sync and G-sync is stil shown as "off", but my monitor clearly indicates that it's running.

4. I check and uncheck the boxes without hitting apply yet. This shouldn't have any effect, the apply button should be greyed out because technically, I haven't changed anything. But I can now hit apply, the screen flickers and now my monitor indicates G-Sync isn't running. Great!

5. But now, I Alt+Tab back into the game, the screen flickers AGAIN, FPS counter reappears... G-sync turned itself on again by just alt-tabbing back into the game! WTH?

Whatever is causing this, it's super annoying. I don't want to use G-Sync with this game as I'd have to cap my FPS in order to not exceed the G-Sync window and I don't want the increased latency that comes with that. Even forcing the game to use a fixed refresh rate via NV profile and turning everything off there doesn't help. As soon as I enter the game by launching or alt+tabbing back in, it immediately activates G-Sync!

This happens on a freshly installed windows of a pure gaming PC with only drivers, launchers and games installed. Initially, I thought it might have been a problem with my old PC, but I built a completely new one earlier this year and it's still there. I'd imagine that a lot more people suffer from this problem but don't realize it, as it only shows itself by a brief flicker of the screen upon launch and if you're not very susceptible to latency and don't have other indicators (such as the fps counter built into my monitor), you might never even identify it!

Please Help!
