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.
