[solved] fullscreen problem

by Leandro Augusto Fidalgo Serafim · in Torque X 2D · 04/27/2010 (2:38 pm) · 2 replies

Hiya, i got a problem with the fullscreen mode.

When I set to a fixed frame (of 16ticks or more == 60 fps or less) on fullscreen it seems bugged the render of it. the lines of the scenario distort a lot when i walk with the camera

and when i don't set the tick and use the default, the lines don't distort but it is a slow fps

here is how my settings are set:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<TorqueEngineSettings>
  <SimulateFences>false</SimulateFences>
	<UseFixedTimeStep>true</UseFixedTimeStep>
  <TickMS>16</TickMS>
	<UseInterpolation>false</UseInterpolation>
	<EnableAudio>true</EnableAudio>
	<GraphicsClearSettings>
		<ClearColor valueOf="Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Color.Black"/>
	</GraphicsClearSettings>
	<WindowsGraphicsManagerSettings>
    <IsFullScreen>true</IsFullScreen>
		<PreferMultiSampling>false</PreferMultiSampling>
		<PreferredBackBufferHeight>900</PreferredBackBufferHeight>
		<PreferredBackBufferWidth>1440</PreferredBackBufferWidth>
	</WindowsGraphicsManagerSettings>
	<XboxGraphicsManagerSettings>
		<PreferMultiSampling>false</PreferMultiSampling>
		<UseDisplaySizeForBackbuffer>false</UseDisplaySizeForBackbuffer>
	</XboxGraphicsManagerSettings>
</TorqueEngineSettings>



i dunno how can i fix this problem, any idea?

thanks in advance


EDIT
Solved using interpolatetick instead of processtick

I tried this and had no issues on my machine. I don't have the latest graphics card or anything an nVidia 8600. It could be your graphics card or something like that. Did you try with UseFixedTimeStep set to false and removing the tickMS? Also try setting SimulateFences to true.

Why are you using a fixed time step? If it's for timing reasons there are better ways to deal with that.

hmn when i removed the tickms and set to false it works ok with no issues, but the frame rate is sux as hell

what's the other way to set a 60 frame rate instead of the default 30 without using the tick?

anyone my video card is hd4870
