SetFramerateLimit results in choppy "gameplay"!
« on: July 12, 2011, 03:23:13 am »
Whenever i set a frameratelimit in my project I get really choppy gameplay. It's really like everything is lagging even tho my fps counter is att 59-60 at all times.. If i comment out the setfrlimit, my fps counter flickers between 1000 and inifinite, and everything goes REALLY smooth.

Why is this? I really wanna set a frameratelimit so users doesnt have to overexhaust their gpu's for no reason, but still be able to a chieve a smoooth gameplay.

Have you tried to use vertical sync instead?

Yes, this makes the result a bit better but not as if it was disabled.

If it says anything i use GetFrameTime() as a multiplier for movements, so that everything moves exactly as fast independent of specs.

I still have this off for smooth gameplay, and it would be nice to find a solution to this.
