[gmx-users] You are applying a switch function to vdw forces or potentials from 0 to 1.2 nm

[jkrieger at mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk]

The problem is you have not set rvdw-switch and the default value is 0.
You should instead set this to something closer to rvdw such as 1.0

It looks like vdw-modifier: potential shift would be a better choice and
then rdw-switch isn't used.
See

for more details
