Intel HD Graphics V-sync disable for Freelancer.exe - Sanctions - 04-21-2023 If you're an avid Freelancer combatant then you might know how important FPS is. And when it comes to this game, if you also happen to play on a weak outdated laptop with integrated graphics like Intel HD (which is exactly my case), chances are high that you can't disable V-sync as it is forced by default and limits your FPS to your refresh-rate (which is 60 in most cases), while Intel HD control panel lacks the ability to force V-sync off overall or for certain executables.
You may be wondering why anyone would want that done, the answer is that disabling V-sync might be crucial as it causes input lag to the game. This especially affects 60Hz monitors in a bad way. There are 3 solutions to this problem that I'm currently aware of:
![]() Path will vary depending on your installation location. You may encounter some cursor issues while hovering it over window borders if you go this way.
![]() Make sure RTSS is active in your tray!
Method involves using DXWnd utility (https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/) to intercept your Freelancer.exe process while forcing the needed settings on it. Launch the utility, right-click the empty interface and choose Add and then provide Freelancer.exe's location.
![]() Settings template for DXWnd and FL.exe, the last frame is the most important.
Happy pewin' and many victories to a fellow pilot!

RE: Intel HD Graphics V-sync disable for Freelancer.exe - Sanctions - 04-22-2023 Ahoy! Sad news: aforementioned ways don't work for Disco as far as I've tested it. Seems like executable is heavily modified in a way and I don't know any way around. RE: Intel HD Graphics V-sync disable for Freelancer.exe - Peter. - 04-22-2023 Thats strange to hear, it was me who suggested the RTSS, in fact I set it up specifically for Disco, and it works flawlessly. I have it on application detection level high, worth trying that, and dont "close" it, rather minimize, and it will drop down as a tray icon. Cant share the img here without uploading elsewhere... And inserting it here after imgur returns crap, so here are the images via link https://imgur.com/a/EjMwy9A RE: Intel HD Graphics V-sync disable for Freelancer.exe - Sanctions - 04-22-2023 Played around with settings. tested it out and it works like a charm, thank you for the update. Will edit both guides. |
