Diagnostics

Multi-monitor setups (different refresh rates):

  • If you have two or more monitors and one is at a different refresh rate than the others, your computer might cap you to the maximum refresh rate of the LOWEST Hz monitor. (i.e. a cap to 60 if you have a 144hz and a 60hz.).

  • To remedy this, disable hardware acceleration on your browsers.

  • If that still doesn't fix it, try: Nvidia control panel > Display > Adjust desktop size and position > Change both to scaling on GPU.

  • Every time you change a setting, you must close your browser (properly, via the shortcut or menu) and restart your game.

Deleting files that require permission from yourself to delete (and aren't in use):

  • Note: watch the spacing used in commands below.

  • Open command prompt (as admin) via cmd in search bar

  • Take ownership of directory via: takeown /f [directory you want to delete] /r

  • Give yourself full access via: icacls [directory you want to delete] /grant [your username]:F /t

  • Delete the files via: del [directory you want to delete]
