Not an issue; Just a PSA #54

The in-game V-Sync must be enabled to achieve proper frame-pacing while utilizing the SilentPatch fps cap, otherwise intermittent micro-stutter may occur every few seconds.

Maybe it would be good to add this information to the description in Silent’s Blog Bully page and the github download page?

I don't even think the game runs without vsync and in a proper fullscreen more like borderless. The stuttering that I get on a 60hz display is more like the double buffering from DWM.

I would love if I could get into a real fullscreen. If you have gsync then you'll be fine even at 60fps without input lag. Vsync at 60hz is not a great experience but this game has some big issues without it.

Edit: Yeah game runs in borderless and sadly crashes when forced to fullscreen with specialK

Here it runs in exclusive fullscreen with or without vsync just fine. Actually most games from that era run in exclusive fullscreen and don't even have a borderless mode, so i'm confused about how you're getting it bordeless at all to begin with.

TheRealDadbeard commented 4 years ago

Yeah I don't know why too. Just checked with SpecialK and it starts in borderless. Do you have tearing while game runs at 60fps? If not then you're on borderless too.

Edit: I can get the game to run in dx11 with dgvoodoo but then specialK won't hook so I can't force flip mode...

When debugging I'd occasionally observe the game be both fullscreen and borderless (the latter being very useful for debugging, actually) - so that behaviour most likely depends on something I haven't been able to pinpoint so far.

At some point I even had the game switch to 1080i/50Hz instead of 1080p/60Hz so there's definitely something wrong with resolution handling in this game.

@TheRealDadbeard I don't remember having tearing in any combination i've tested (default 30fps or 60fps through the silentpatch cap with RTSS/V-Sync on top of it). Though as i said only V-Sync on top of the silentpatch cap eliminated micro-stutter.

@CookiePLMonster That's crazy. 1080i/50hz on a PC game? How would that even happen?
