$pref::Video::killFramesAhead = true;
I found that in defaults.cs
Turned it off, everything works fine. Was it in for a reason? Also, does HDR work? I turned it on but see no difference.

Brian, I had a very weird problem when I ran TSE. It was like it wasn't refreshing the screen. $pref::Video::killFramesAhead = true;

Give me an email if you still need the exe. I'll email it to anyone who needs it. I'll send you a release version.

@Matt - really? It's there to prevent the video card from rendering multiple frames ahead. It causes noticable mouse lag and hitching on some low/ mid range video cards. What kind of card do you have?

I think i saw something about this a few months ago, so please refresh my memory if a thread already exists for it.

I'm still getting poor results with transitioning between interior and exterior. Debug and Release, fresh build. I thought it was just a MS3 thing, but apparently not!I think i saw something about this a few months ago, so please refresh my memory if a thread already exists for it.
