Title: Stuttering when heads are talking in flight?
Post by: Mr_Blastman on March 22, 2012, 09:36:28 pm

I'm getting stuttering when heads are talking in flight.  Any ideas?  Is it as simple as turning off vsync?

Yup, IIRC, vsync aught to do it.

Enabling the FPS counter (-fps command line option) may also "fix" it  :wtf:

If you try that and it does work, would you mind adding a note to the mantis issue (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=2417)?

(oops - just realized this is in the WCS forum - I haven't seen the launcher yet so -fps may not be available)

You can always add it as a custom command line (if that box is included in the WCS launcher, which I don't see why it wouldn't be, but I don't know).

Nah no command line like in the generic freespace launcher unless I missed it.  Turning off v-sync fixed things.  :)  Thanks.

You don't need the launcher to add custom command line flags

The cmdline config file is located in the My Documents/Volition... folder.

There is a code-side bug that can cause this which may not be present in WCS' fork. I'm not sure how it interacts with vsync though so you could be right.

Well I had to turn vsync off to get it smooth.  No big deal, really.  Simple to fix, FUN to play!  ;)
