In this video, you'll see me use the launcher in the listed order with the following framerate settigns. I render the game at 1440p.
You'll see very quickly the 1&3 end up causing me to die in the launchers. With the constant 60fps, the issue goes away and works normally. You can see the framerate counter in the upper right corner.
1. Enter launcher from side @ 144fps
2. Enter launcher from side @ 60fps
3. Enter launcher from top @ 144fps
4. Enter launcher from top @ 60fps
I was causing framerate changes on the fly by changing the reporting refresh rate in my monitor settings via GYSNC. This bug is either related to running the game at extremely high framerates, or non-constants framerates.
