Locks your frames at 60 (the refresh rate of your monitor - Hz) so they dont go above that and give you stuttering. If you're system cant handle >60, e.g. with shaders up fps might drop from 70 (vsync'd you see 60) to 50, Vsync will then cut this to half of the refresh rate of the monitor (30fps). | ||

As far as this mod, i don't get it. But w/e. You can try to disable vertical sync and see if that helps, it might cause screen tearing. I always leave it off, but i also don't get screen tearing. | ||

I was playing on low but the "toys" look was kind of bad, it's perfect that way, simple & clear with high FPS and way better looking. Again, big thanks ! | ||

Good job, but still models on high and shadows eat unnecessary processing power. I play on all low, because looking at those shiny lights and lighting makes my head hurt. Well, it's free to edit. Some of those parameters I've turned on, because wanted to make it a bit different from low settings by "grabbing" some medium and high parameters. It depends on your PC. And models turned ON don't use a lot processor, so thats why it can be enabled at those "low-high" settings Could we have some cloaked units in the screenshots? Along with the ring around the pylon plox? :D They are same distorted silhouettes, like at medium/high settings. Also thx for remembering about Pylon circle I'll add this one too to differences block. Forget about itI was playing on low but the "toys" look was kind of bad, it's perfect that way, simple & clear with high FPS and way better looking. Again, big thanks ! hdr=0 on low settings makes everything more colored and a bit darker. When it's turned ON ("1"), game becomes a bit more realistic and probably 5% less saturated. And Overlords have small glow in their body | ||

Nope, vsync was off. When it was enabled it did what you described but after turning it off I got around 24-36 fps with all low but shaders medium lol. Even with ultra textures i get 60+ fps but medium shaders kill it (I even tried to disable shadows through config but that didn't fix it either). Dunno, stupid computer =[. | ||

On July 05 2012 08:09 Stress wrote: Graphics card can't handle the settings. Interesting config, will try it out. What happens is that your processor runs the shaders when its on low settings, and your graphics card when you raise it. This is the case with a lot of games, and it puts extra load on your GPU or CPU, depending which way you have it. Put the load on the most powerful, in this case your CPU, so turn the shaders to low. | ||
