Oops, yeah, sorry about that, I got distracted and never got round to finishing my fix. I think the game boring the arse off me had a lot to do with it, I just didn't have the motivation to fix it.
Anyway, all's well that ends well, someone else had sorted it now :D

For anyone who's preordered Pirates of New Horizons, here's an fov changer for the preview version.
Just messed about with this as practice for pointer scanning really, (thanks dopefish for the help with that) as the fov is fine as it is though I do prefer it slightly more zoomed out.
The fov is ...

Yeah, I would always turn off the framelimiter on the few games I used vsync for as that would cause stuttering.

EDIT - I have also heard that stuttering issues with limiters can sometimes be resolved by setting the max to one of two frames higher than the refresh. So 60 gets 62 and so on. Maybe that helps somebody someday.

Update: At least for me, and with dxtory, this didn't work so I'll just continue ...

I know what you're referring to, the old 120fps thing on the quake engine, it's not that.

I just stuck to talking about multiplayer fps because I thought that's where responsiveness and fluidity and sharpness, clarity and smooth camera panning is most important and you'd relate to that and it ...

The first track on the new mark e smith spoken word album, there

Your display is 120, that is your refresh rate. You will notice a smoothness difference up to 120. The benefits of running higher than your refresh rate are present in some specialized MP situations.

No, that's just my point, I was the same at 60hz and on crt's with sillyhigh refresh rates ...

Smooth Frame Rates is usually a FPS cap with performance scaling. It should list a min and max framerate. If it is set to your refresh there is probably no point in disabling. But maybe TERA has an ass-high tick rate.

If you set the min frame rate to zero and it should disable the auto ...

OK, I took some screenshots, trying to keep the character in the middle as a point of reference so you can see the difference :D




fov 60
fov 100

Bear in mind that looking at small still images like that, you're naturally going to prefer the default flat field of view. This is ...

Hehe, I'm no pro :D
It's proportional, widening your field of view also has the effect of making things appear further away.
You could do what you're talking about, pack more horizontally into the screen whilst maintaining the same aspect ratio but that would look really weird, it'd make ...

tzzz i hate MMOG's. Switching from FOV60 to 100 just changes the camera distance! Could get the exact same result just with scrolling mous button.

but thanks for sharing. might come in handy sometime.

No, FOV and camera zoom, whilst proportional, are two completely different things ...

This is all just done in config files but I thought it was worth posting anyway :D

Unlock the framerate

Navigate to "TERAClientS1GameConfig"

open up the file "S1Engine.ini", and change

bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE

to

bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE

and save

Fix the ...

Nice work on the fix, dopefish :D Bought it before the patch as it was on sale for 20 quid. The fix works flawlessly, even during cutscenes. Thanks again :D

A quick and dirty fix for the framerate and fov in the mass effect 3 demo

Sorry, this is going to be a bit rushed, should have been in bed ages ago :D Will update the thread tomorrow with a step by step guide like I did in the darkness 2 thread.
Check that post, you're doing pretty much the ...

Oh good, I still hope the devs implement it, it should be there as standard. Good to know we've something to fall back on if it doesn't happen though.

Devs are "looking into" implementing this core feature, apparently, after totalbiscuit threw his internet weight around :D so I'm holding off on buying the game.
If it turns out that they're not going to bother after all then I'll just buy it and do it myself, I warn you that it'll probably be a ...

all you see is blackness.

darkness, surely :D I've no idea about any of that stuff to be honest, like I say, never had more than one monitor, have you tried running it in a window?

@dopefish, thankyou so so much for the advice :D Will give that all a good go either tonight or tomorrow night when I get a chance :D

Really ? I found the demo's FOV surprisingly appropriate. Actually your second screenie looks a wee bit too distorted for me, the original seems just right... It ...

Aye man, nice one :D
Just started tinkering out of necessity and I think I've probably gotten as far as blind groping is gonna get me now so any help would be greatly appreciated.

First of all download and install cheat engine

http://www.cheatengine.org/downloads.php

Start the darkness 2 demo and play it through until you get to the game proper (the part where you're walking around with those daemonic tentacles hanging out of your ears)
