DescentBB

windows 2000
512mb ram
XP2000+
R9800pro using the omega drivers based on the cat 4.3's

So I have vsync clicked off in both the drivers and ingame. I have the refresh rate overridden to the max my monitor can support (100hz @ 800x600), and yet i still see it locked at 60fps. sure there's a bit of fluctuation, if you call 66fps a fluctuation..

so i'm at a loss here. what's goin on?

command line options:

-framecap 0 ????

Aye, Descent3 includes a default framecap to 60 FPS.

-framceap 999 -nointro -nooutragelogo -usesmoothing -playermessages

will try framecap 0 now.

EDIT: even with framecap 0, it's still at 60fps.

defrag? turn off antivirus? sound specs?

Do you have a utility to unlock the refresh rate in XP? If you are running XP that is.

what about Riva Tuner?

Soundcard would be a SB Audigy2

Sounds like V-Sync is still enabled to me.

When in doubt, check the spelling...

LMAO

oh wow.. you know what? i think i know why i'm havin issues..

i'm still laughing about it

ROTFLMAO!! the stupidest simple things that cause major headaches

at least the problem is solved..

It is amusing to me how many people missed the spelling error.

i guess a few people are a little bit dyslexic.

lol.. I knew I should have posted something about your typo. Figured you wouldn't cock it up twice tho while changing to -framecap 0. I Guess I was wrong.

Looks like Warlock rubbed off on you.

i just realized, even Krom missed it the first time around..

I didnt know that being dyslexic could cause you to also read the order of the posts wrong ferno. You posted the typo after my post.

Heres why no one noticed it right off the bat: The way the human brain reads words is based almost exclusivly on the first and last character. As long as the rest of the word is the right combination of characters, the brain will usually read it as the word its supposed to be.

Youre not dyslexic, your brain just autoskims words it already knows

well we do add words in to certen lines like

"Push Aney Key" well it reads like that but people to add in The to it so people started to read it as "Push The Aney Key" hint the saying Where the hell is the aney key

aney is spelled a-n-y, brainiac

STFU stress and go back to sucking aces dick like a good whore

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!! you going to take that stress. i feel a fight coming

Dyslexia doesn't excuse retardation. I mean, I know he has Word installed somewhere there, being Mr. Multi machine and all. And it having a spell checker.. Well, I'm just wondering if he is just lazy or stupid..?
