  I just force Vertical sync & Triple buffering through the Nvidia Control Panel.
  
  Has always worked for me & should overwrite any ingame settings, no matter what they say.

  I have the same problem with the interface. I cannot get it accept my settings when I hit apply in graphics options. Nothing happens.

  Is this a bug? If you look at <i>GUIMainMenu:SaveOptions(mainMenu)</i>, the new buffer setting doesn't appear to be getting saved.
  
  I added this to GUIMainMenu.lua:1192 and it seems to have fixed it.
  <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Client.SetOptionInteger("graphics/display/display-buffering", displayBuffering)<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
  
  This is strange though. I could have sworn I had successfully changed this setting yesterday.

  For me, too. Also, forcing Triple Buffering via NVidia Control panel doesn't seem to work anymore. I can force VSync, but since build 220 I get 30 > 60 >30 FPS jumps, never something in between, seem the engine now overrides the drivers Triple buffering?
  
  P.S.: I can set any option.. only the new VSync option doesn't seem to save, it's always "off" when I get back to the menu, and no reaction whatsoever in the menu (not that I would expect it, as with any other option besides resolution).

  Sigh :(, triple buffering is ONLY for Opengl in the display control panel as microsoft would not certify the drivers otherwise.... I really wish people would read into this as so many fall into the but the control panel already has triple buffering trap. It has to be forced either through DXoverrider or other such D3D triple buffering force app if the game does not have such settings. Not only that the nvidia developers and ati developers have said this themselves aswell!
  
  But anyway none of the graphical settings are being applied!, Can't apply triple buffering :( :(
  
  Gah you look forward to a setting after requesting it for months and it doesn't bloody work :P, the apply button is broken

  Interesting. I could have SWORN Vertical sync worked with FPS ~40-50 for me in 219. Global Triple buffering in NVIDIA control panel was always on (I deactivated it with 220). I have a 60Hz TFT. Now I have 30/60FPS, as expected w/o Triple buffering. And yes, VSync was (and is) on, very easy for me to see if it is with FPS drops to < 30.
