I need some help with the controls :(

Game Play & Game Design

This game is impossible on a 3000+ AMD (way, way, way too fast). My video card is a geForce 3.

When I start the level, it looks like an explosion of white lights surrounded by red and I was dead in about 1 second.

The bug in the timing code is driving me crazy :confused: I have the sneakiest suspicion the hires timer isn’t working, nor vsync!

Hm. If it’s setup like the demo game loop thingy… then I would guess the driver claims that vsync is working and enabled but infact it isn’t.

(Or do you use time based movement now? Since AF was tick based)

It’s tick based.

[quote]public static boolean isVSyncEnabled()

Determines to the best of the platform’s ability whether monitor vysnc is enabled on this window. The failsafe assumption is that when vsync cannot be determined, this method returns false, and you should rely on using a hires timer to throttle your framerate rather than relying on monitor sync (even if monitor sync is actually working). Therefore you can guarantee that if we return true from this method that we’re pretty certain vsync is enabled.

…pretty certain :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, good to know that there are drivers wich can dodge it. Ok then just use capping around your loop in any case and aim for hz+1 fps. This way you shouldn’t miss any blank signal and it will run with the desired speed (ok a fart faster ;D)
