  2. Select “Settings” option
  3. Click on “Graphics” tab
  4. Disable “Gameplay V-Sync” feature
  5. Disable “Menu V-Sync” feature

You can also reduce the display resolution to “1280×720“, which has worked for most players.

The last possible solution is to enable the “Unlimited” option at the “Framerate Limit” menu.
