This Is Rediculous!
« on: February 08, 2008, 02:42:32 PM »
I cannot even get a steady shot in the film viewer! All the planes are boppin up 'n down back 'n forth!!! It's seriously irritating and needs to be looked at or addressed. I've heard others complaining about this, but I have never seen it this bad before.

What can I do to get this to stop?

From the plethora of detailed technical information provided my first guess would be to call to your local tier 1 ISP and request an OC3 with latency SLAs, then point the other end to the cab next to HTCs and talk Skuz into giving you a port on their edge switch.

He is not talking about warping (lag) but the filmviewer

Yeap, the film viewer right now is porked to a certain extent.  Can't get good shots without having your plane stuttering all over.  Main reason I have not done a film for a while.  Gets to frustrating to deal with it... :mad:

Mine works just fine, but I took the film from CM view.  Would that have anything to do with it?

Record while actually playing the game.  Use the F3/F4 views and just zoom around and adjust views.  If you look back your plane will start jumping... and don't give us the "mine doesn't do it".  (Not saying you would say that Mensa) No offense, but there are a bunch of us having the problem.  I just hope there is a way so Skuzzy and the HTC Clan can see it and get it patched up.

Out of curiosity, what textures are you guys using? I didnt start having these problems until I went from 512 or whatever to 1028 textures.

4 films I recorded back in October 2007, all give stuttering issues.

I'll see if I can record something this week and if I still get the same problem.

I think Skuzzy said he was unable to reproduce it.  I upgraded fraps and even purchased it back in November.  Maybe fraps had an update around the same time as AHFV did.  I believe the problem to be with AH and not Fraps.  I'll check again this week.  24fps or 30fps for recording give same problem with AHFV.

Again, if you use FRAPS and the frame rate counter falls below 30, then you are going to have stutters in the film.   It is not a bug,  It simply means your computer does not have enough resources to be able to use FRAPS to make a film from that AHF.

It really is easy to see why.  If the video frame rate falls below 30FPS, then FRAPS simply duplicates frame data, which causes stutters in the recorded film.

It boils down to your computer's performance and resources available.

While using fraps, my PC runs around 75FPS at max detail with nothing around in the video, I still get stuttering, if I pause the player, then restart it everything is OK.  I thought it could be the fact that I have only been able to get fraps to record at 60FPS.
