War Thunder 2.55.1.165 Patch Notes (17th June 2026)

Update 2.55.1.165 is live today with two straightforward graphics fixes that should matter if you're running ray tracing or NVIDIA Reflex. That's now sorted. The second fix tackles a more frustrating problem: enabling NVIDIA Reflex would leave V-Sync active, capping your FPS despite your settings saying otherwise. If you've been wondering why your frame rate felt locked despite turning off V-Sync, this explains it.

Neither of these is a gameplay-shaker, but they're the exact kind of backend fix that makes your graphics settings actually do what you told them to do. Gaijin's notes mention these changes came directly from community reports, which players spotted the problems, reported them properly, and the studio fixed them. Look for the ray tracing improvements if you're running high-end hardware.
