+--- Thread: Increasing FPS rate (Works with max. settings) (/showthread.php?tid=90934)
RE: Increasing FPS rate (Works with max. settings) - Cygnus - 12-26-2012
So today I kicked some people's asses in fighter vs fighter PvP (me in a morph other guys ins VHFs and bombers) and one of them started complaining about me lagging, which was weird cause I didtnt notice any lag at all. I figured it was because I tap thruster to change speed so they have a hard tiem aiming, and they may think its lag.
Then this other K'Hara guy told me that if my fps is too high other people see me lag although I dont see them lag.
Then I installed fraps to check my fps and it seems to be stable between 170 and 180, and the guy told me that's bad.
What do? :\

As long as it doesn't go above 180, you should be fine. Though maybe check it with others in Conn a few times. Because you really jittered a bit (noticed that when we cruised through Tau-117).

Found out what do.
Its the vertical sync.
As long as its off, the fps always go up to 180 no matter what settings. When its on it stays at 60. The video quality seems more smooth with it on anyway. Think I turned it off when trying to get a decent fps with Xfire video recording, but it turned out Xfire sucked no matter what you did.

For me turning vsync makes game look like it is running at 10-15 FPS because of not matching framerate. The background and objects tend to jitter on my screen when i turn.

Can also use dxtory which is like fraps. But allows you to cap the FPS without having to record.

And no,
If it even touches 180 it's already causing jitter.
Keep it at max 170 or prefered 160.

I'd like to try this perfoptions thing, but what does it actually change? As in ingame visual wise?
RE: Increasing FPS rate (Works with max. settings) - Swallow - 12-27-2012
Color depth.

And that was what again, exactly?

Thanks very much for the info Swallow. My frame rate is up a little. Things are less laggy during explosions and other high detail events now.
