What happened?

This extension limits the game to running at 60FPS. As soon as the extension is opened, the game cannot run above 60FPS when it is in the foreground

I am running usually in "windowed fullscreen" mode, but I've tried other windowing modes and it doesn't seem to make a difference. My stack is windows 10, intel 13900k, RTX 4090, 64GB ram

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch the POE2 game without exiled exchange 2 running
2. Open the options and check the FPS. Observe it is above 60 (assuming hardware is suffucient)
3. Run exiled exchange 2. Observe that the FPS is still steady above 60
4. Switch back to the game. Observe the FPS drops to 60 and will not go above 60.

Without Exiled Exchange 2 running:

With Exiled Exchange 2 running, game is in foreground:

With exiled exchange 2, game is in background

EE2 doesn't interact with the game so it shouldn't be effecting the games performance by itself. Potentially could be some issue with frame gen and it not liking having an overlay on top of the game.
