Mate, i am used to butter smooth 250fps on a 144hz panel, suddenly i have 30fps. Whenever i turn the camera i can see at least 10 lines caused by screen tearing and the inputlag is abyssal.
The only reason for why the animations look like shit at any more than 30fps is that they made a terrible engine, because it also means that if your framerate is lower than 30fps the game actually runs slowed down. I am a rookie at programming and i know how to script an engine that splits frame rendering from other events.

Well the problem must be on your rig bud as I've played both Force unleashed games on 2 different rigs recently and there is no screen tearing at all and the input lag I can honestly not see.

Either there is something causing this on your rig or I'm just lucky ^_^

Had a rough night last night, finally managed to get sleep at just gone 3am only to get woke up, at 5am by peoples house alarms going off.

Look to see what time it was and find the power is out so go down stairs and check the main fuse, find nothing wrong with that so go round to my grandads house and find his power is out as well.

Try to use the internet on my phone and it works for a small amount of time and then stops, just after getting the phone number for the electric company and making a few forum posts.

Power is now back on but I am now wide awake and cannot get back to sleep.

Flick your mouse quickly, you can tell that the game cannot cope with it. Maybe you are just used to games with input lag, for example ArmA has terrible input lag as well.
The screentearing might be an illusion caused by the choppiness of the 30fps. It's certainly not smooth.

Spent three hours cleaning my summer bike only to discover I forgot to remove and clean the chain. Got a great big greasy mark on the frame . Time to clean it again .

Nope sorry bud still cant notice it, There is such a thing which us Germans are famous for, Picking out tiny little annoyances and moaning about them non stop, I think that's whats happening here

I showered earlier this morning and right when i had my hair shampooed we had a power outage. Power outage = no warm water. And nobody was at home to pop the fuse back in. I tried to put it back in myself but it kept triggering.
So after i finished showering with pretty darn cold water i looked for the cause and it turned out that our electric BBQ grill died. Someone only turned it off but didn't unplug it.

That's not really a small thing, that's pretty game breaking for me. I can handle all kinds of BS in games but not 30fps locks.

I think it's because our eyes are trained for high FPS were as console gamers are most of the time locked to 30 FPS therefore they don't really notice the lag but as soon as we hit 30 fps it's like "OMG$%£&WTF@*STFU£%$" ^_^

Yea it's the same with 120/144hz panels. Once you have one you feel like you are getting motion sick on a 60hz panel. It's awful.

I noticed when I went from 60Hz to the BenQ 144Hz and then going back to 60Hz, It seemed like a slideshow for a while but my eyes got use to it again and now I don't even see it anymore

fml,
actually got a warning on APB for abusive language. Its funny how much they care about crudely drawn penises on cars

.
Honestly if it wasn't super fun winding people up and getting hacusated/being called "an stupid mother fu****" by someone called "SexyBunny69" I'd never play APB.

The mods on that game are a little touched in the head, It was the same in Star Wars Galaxies, The mods *GM's* had their favorite players who could literally get away with murder but if you said or did something that didn't sit well with them they really messed with you.

For example I was doing bounty hunting *Hunting a player who killed another player in PvP and the killed player can put a bounty on the killer* Anyway I collected the bounty and because that certain player was a good friend of a GM he went crying and screaming to the GM and when I next logged on my characters levels, Money, Everything was deleted.

I put in 1 hell of a complaint, He did it to other players too, And thankfully got the sack in the end

Some people just shouldn't be given authoritarian abilities, Goes to their heads.

I remember cru getting a 3 day ban in the BF4 beta for his emblem art.

Seriously ??? wow, Some GM's need their heads examining.

 

[Feronix]

Alright, so now they're offering us a Corsair VS350 at half the price, €15. Not bad and at least it's a much better unit with bundles cables and zero RPM fan mode and all

Still a €15 that didn't need to be spent though. Kinda odd that my sister still has to pay for an ef up on their side.

Yaaaaay, transfered the money on Friday, got an email saying they received it first tthing Monday morning. Then nothing.

Had to phone them AGAIN to remind them to actually ship it out.


Oh, and I'm getting really bad headaches any time I get physically active, like during morning exercises

 

[Squidlorock]

Some of these GM comments were making me laugh, with Barnsley new car work and Cru's colourful emblem! I remember a friend played Spore beta years ago, anyway he made what looked like two monkeys on each others back, well it looked like they were... :boink::wiggle:

He then logged in to find he had like (i cant remember exactly) a 2 week or a month long ban. Not just from Spore, but his entire EA collection. My god we laughed! While he was locked out of his account

That's not good feronix, i'm not trained or anything but i would say go to the docs, and make sure you drink enough liquids, eat before maybe and get good amounts of sleep! But if it keeps happening go to your Gp dude imho.

I eat and drink plenty, sleep has always been a thing I'm not very good at though


It's been happening since a week now and I kinda wanted to wait to see if it would stop on its own. Seems to happen every time I even remotely run out of breath. Kind of annoying, but other than all of that I feel great tbh.

 

[Squidlorock]

I would also say... if you drink anything with Aspertame in it (Diet stuff) try to avoid that as imho its very bad in alot of ways. Sleep man!(i know it can be tough though) I would say though if it keeps happening visiting the docs, it might be something simple or even nothing but at least you put your mind at rest.
