If I start to setup a game with fraps on, it will report 45ish FPS on the hero selection screen, and the game will play at 30-45 FPS.

IF I EXIT TO THE MENU AFTER PLAYING A GAME (NO MATTER HOW LONG THE GAME IS, EVEN SECONDS), the games FPS is halved...

for instance at the hero selection screen its running about 20 FPS, all other menus are running lower, and even if i start a new game it runs MUCH lower.

The only way to fix this issue is to alt+tab out and back in, and normal framerates are restored instantly.

Im using: 8600M GT with C2D 2.0 GHz, 4Gb ram.

Anyboy else care to try? heres a link to download FRAPS if you dont have it.

Although I have managed to do so in CoH, I cannot siable Vsync in DoW2

Ive tried through Rivatuner, the nVIDIA control panel, and by adding the "-novsync" argument to the shortcut for DoW2. It still appears to be on in game.

The game still wont go above 60 FPS, and sticks around factors of my monitor refresh rate (ex: 15 FPS or 30 FPS)

You can turn off Vsync by changing the vale to "0" in your configuration.lua file.
