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 refresh rate manually

  2. Open GasGuzzlers.xml.
  3. Find the following lines.
<Var
    name="RefreshRateInHz"
    type="Int"

  1. Change 60 to the screen refresh rate.
May cause stuttering if the game's FPS does not meet the refresh rate.
