[SOLVED]: Difference between vsync and framerate limit?

[thecheeselover]

Hello,

I'm using sfml 1.6 and I have a quick question: what is the difference between App.SetFramerateLimit(...) and App.UseVerticalSync(true)?

Thank you

Use SFML 2, there is really no reason to go with SFML 1.6 now -- it has been unmaintained for years and contains much more bugs.

There is a documentation on the SFML homepage that should answer you this kind of questions

I'll switch to sfml 2.0 but not now because I have a lot of things to test. I found the question in the FAQ but it's actually unanswered.

I meant the API documentation, not the FAQ. There, you can search for the class you need (sf::RenderWindow) and read the description of its functions.

Ok, I've checked the document as you said but I still can't understand the difference. ^^ I also have tried both and noticed that SetFramerateLimit ignores if UseVerticalSync is called with true as parameter.

Here's the documentation:

SetFramerateLimit(...)
Limit the framerate to a maximum fixed frequency.

UseVerticalSync(...)
Enable / disable vertical synchronization.

Thank you!

Have you read the tutorial?
