Framed images

[Florian]

Well I guess (and hope) I'm not the only one with that problem. Could happen for no obvious reason, and for pretty long periods, or just once in a while.

You know that feeling : you have a perfectly working computer (Macbook Pro Retina 15" in my case), install Bootcamp and get to play TE which is a game that shouldn't be too massive to handle. And still when you're either moving your mouse in the menus, or make your player run on court, it's not fluid, images are a bit framed.

Happened to me when my old laptop was dying and just was thinking it was the reason why, but now I have a pretty decent machine, and it's still happening, I'm wondering what this is about.

And what I noticed (might be pretty logical after all) is during those moments, my shots are way less effective. So seems to be my movement. Since it seems both things are related, I hope there is a technical reason.

Hope manutoo can have some ideas about that subject.

Cheers

I had this same problem on my old laptop. I could normally play one match with a fluid gameplay.
However, if I tried to play another match in the same run of TE it would become "framed". So my solution was pretty simple, just restart TE after every match. Dont know, but maybe it's the same for you.

No idea, but try any video settings combination you can. with/without vertical sync, bilinear/trilinear, lower a-alias/aniso, less shadows, textures 16/32, T&L mixed vs harware, dx7 vs dx8, and windowed vs full screen, to check if any behaviour change.

maybe you can also check your video driver options. Like setting nvidia drivers priority to performance instead of quality, such things.

Or maybe the thing is heating after a while like Fez laptop did ?

Well it's totally random. And it's also getting more and more framed as the points last.

Very annoying when you're starting a match and you notice it after a few points, can't ask for your opponent to rehost each time it happens...

Hilarious
Florian, imagine now that in response to your post, people were telling you that its just because you werent handling delay right, or that its because of the character your opponent was using, or that you just need to get better. That's what I get when I speak of this same problem.

Say something, moe, djarvik. Say something.

And I have a question. Might it help to disable Vsync? Or no?

[Florian]

Risking to be a noob but what's Vsync ?

[Elias]

Vertical syncing of frame per/sec of the game to the sync used by your lcd monitor in the current resolution (usually maxed to 60fps).

There is an option for this in TE graphic options (VSync on/off). When i had this issue in the past it was only occurring in windowed mode, but vertical sync on/off didn't changed anything though.

Not sure your issue was the same Fez, those framed images are pretty noticeable like graphic lags wich you didn't mentionned i think, the slowdown you had was probably more constant, those framed images are like little graphic lag bursts.
