Game running too fast?

Post by entropicdecay »

It seems like Commander Genius is running faster than it should be? Here's a video to demonstrate:

It's like the Torbo bottom is on XD

You know the thing old PC's have where they'd run faster if pressed

After trying out the newest version, I'm still having the same problem. Interface text also looks blurry/pixelated.

I don't think I've ever had any speed issues with Commander Genius, even when I just downloaded a fresh zip archive of version 1.9.9.8 from the website. I downloaded the newest version, but the program wouldn't load for me (it says it's not compatible with my version of Windows).

IIRC I did try enabling vsync and it didn't make a difference. But I can try it on this new version next time I try it out.

Which Windows version are you using? Just tested Version 3.4.9 and no problems. Even in a VirtualBox with Windows 10 it ran smoothly here.
Having fun developing stuff...

Windows 10.

Edit: Okay, strangely, turning vsync off actually seems to pretty much fix the speed issue. With vsync, I get around 140-ish FPS, without, about 62.5.

The text looking pixelated in the launcher I don't know if there's a fix for. Should I record footage?

Edit 2: Oh. Okay. Looks like the pixelation issue is fixed too, but I can't tell what changed. The issue was the resolution setting under "launcher" in the options, but before when I tried to change that, it reset upon exiting out of that section of the options menu... until suddenly it didn't and I was able to set it to 1920x1080, making the text look clear and non-pixelated.
