- There will be two selectable tabs, Global Settings and Program Settings. You will want to select Program Settings. After clicking on this tab, there will be a dropdown menu with a list of installed programs that you can customized. From this menu select Dead Space. If Dead Space does not appear, then you will need to manually add it.
- Once Dead Space has been selected, there are a host of options that can be customized. The one that we are concerned with is called Vertical sync.
- Scroll down until you see this option listed. It is the next to last option in the list of settings.
