How to not have VG FPS plummet with game window not focus

  1. I just made a comment in another thread about how the game's FPS falls to the floor when it is not the program with focus:

    Vanguard I noticed has the problem of losing FPS when the game window is not the focus.

    I have two monitors and when I click out to the other screen when in windowed mode I see the FPS plummet and it is a slideshow.

    Out of EQ II and Eve Online, this is the only game this happens to. I haven't logged into EQ I yet in a while so I don't remember if it does it with that game or not.

    This would appear to make playing multiple accounts an issue.


    I thought I could ask here if there is some way for this to not happen or is it a limitation of the game's engine?
    I remember the old EQ Play Nice program that had FPS settings/limiters you could set on individual EQ windows to offset the lag that took place when one character's screen was not the focus and you had them on auto follow (lag of the character having trouble to follow, rubber-banding, dancing in circles, etc).
    I don't have multiple accounts here but do have browsers, video, or a different game up sometimes at the same time on the other monitor so it is an annoyance/inconvenience to have the Vanguard FPS plummet when clicking outside of the game's window.
