Issues fixed

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate[1]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide. Manual local installation may work better.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\dxgi.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\GSGameExe.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
    • DirectX 9 version uses <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or \GSGameExe_DX9.exe\SpecialK.ini.
  4. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].
