VR support

Issues fixed

Increase the VRR range ceiling

The game requests a 60 Hz refresh rate which does not seem to be overridden properly by display drivers when VRR is enabled. This can result in screen tearing on high refresh rate monitors when using G-Sync or FreeSync in V-Sync Off scenarios, or additional input latencies if V-Sync is On.
Override the requested refresh rate using Special K.

Notes

  1. Applications writing to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE will be redirected to other locations based on various criterias, see the glossary page for more details.
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/338930/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (338930) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
