Description

When I tab out of the game my desktop becomes super laggy (the game itself still runs very smoothly, only my explorer and browser tabs and such are affected) which is fixed when I limit the game to a lower framerate. I'm currently using Rivatuner with a hotkey to limit it when I need to, but it would be really nice to have an option to automatically limit the framerate when the game isn't in focus.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing framerate-limit handling and the code that tracks whether the game window is focused. Determine where an unfocused-state limit could be applied, then verify that the game limits its framerate when inactive without disrupting normal focused gameplay.
