frame rates and freezes

[Kanth]

the checkbox checkmark is a bug but may not be related to your 45 frame rate. It can go below 90 if things get really busy, lots of ships firing or base firing and lots of planes depends on your system.

The cap is at the top of the range so shouldn't go higher than 90 but can go lower if there's a lot going on.

Has anyone from hitechcreations confirmed it is a bug or is it by design?

[Kanth]

no confirmation that i've seen. So could be, by design. Not sure if it's been formally reported in the bugs area though.

[Skuzzy]

Not a bug, not a feature.  For VR, vertical sync is irrelevant, but we force it off to make sure the regular monitor output is not capping the frame rate as most monitors cannot run at 90FPS.

Thanks Skuzzy!  . That being the case, what causes the tearing that I’m seeing occasionally?

[Mister Fork]

Puma - I think it may be just a result of our video cards trying to render in a 3D environment that still isn't perfect. I've been getting that issue with my rift for over a year when I first got it.

[Puma44]

Thanks Fork.  Sounds reasonable.  Just wasn’t sure what was causing it in a random manner.  Another instance of I don’t know what I don’t know.

I have been having a very random problem of what looks like a VR freeze, hour glass etc, but  is actually the AH game minimizing to the task bar.  Anyone else have this?  Tried checking and unchecking the VR options.

maybe alt tabbing

YUP,I have that now and then. It is most times, a process that starts up in windows. Had a notification of an Nvidia update available do it a few times. In fact, thats the onlt pauses/freezes I get lately. Havent even had an stutter issue in some time. I use to get them regularly after using the Mask Off-go to Monitor function. Havent had an issue with the Vr swap, well in recent memory
