Hey! Is there any way to fix the screen tearing that occurs due to the FPS update not matching my monitor's refresh rate? VSync is terrible; it has a lot of lag. In other games, I don't activate VSync; I just cap the FPS, and it works perfectly, but it's not the same here :/

No, that’s why VSync exists

It fundamentally has to have lag because it’s waiting for the frame being rendered to finish

You can try and change your game refresh rate to one that “aligns better” with your screen but it’s never gonna be perfect

you can try tinkering around with cl_refresh_rate and gfx_refresh_rate - i have a 240hz monitor running on 15K FPS and i had to play around a lot to find fitting settings ^^ (edited)

omg

01:54

01:54

it didnt

i mean

meloƞ

what can i do with this xd "cl_refresh_rate"?

01:56

put it in F1 and then put the value of my monitor?

cl_refresh_rate just changes your refresh rate, you can also do that manually under the graphics settings (edited)

01:58

try changing cl_refresh_rate to the rate of your monitor (same hz)

i still dont undested it impossible to add delay?

02:01

weird question but did you correctly set your monitor to 144 hz? windows defaults to 60 even when your display supports more

yup

so it: Happens with cl_refresh_rate and gfx_refresh_rate set to 0 you dont want to use vsync because it feels slow (i get that, feels horrible) drivers up to date? what renderer are you using (vulkan, openGL) what window mode are you using? (fullscreen, desktop fullscreen, etc) (edited)

what diff vul or open (edited)

dont wanna get into detail, but lets just say vulkan is newer and usually performs better on new machines, while openGL guarantees functionality on old machines

1. ill set them to 0 2. Yes 3. Vulkan cus is better 4. Fullscreen

try setting them to 0 aswell as using another window mode (windowed-fullscreen) or (windowed-borderless)

That is good to know. It might come in handy for ddnet_hotui

Replying to @Jupstar ✪ but bro i really didnt know that a later call to `dlsym` "hot-reloads" c…

not portable
