| Summary | 0025506: General: No support for G-Sync/FreeSync within the runner, causes game FPS to be inconsistent | ||||
| Description | Within the runner we have no support for G-Sync or FreeSync which causes your FPS to be inconsistent. At the default sleep timer of 1ms your game will run at 25 FPS when you've set it to 60 FPS within game options which is not ideal, changing the sleep timer to 10ms causes your FPS to double to roughly 50 but then jumps constantly between 50 and 60 so your gameplay isn't smooth. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1) Get a monitor with G-Sync and a GPU which supports G-Sync 2) Enable G-Sync in the NVIDIA Control Panel 3) Create a project 4) Set FPS in game options to 60 5) Show your FPS somewhere 6) Run your project 7) See that your FPS is not 60 8) Turn off G-Sync in the NVIDIA Control Panel 9) Run your game again 10) See that your FPS is now constantly 60 | ||||

|
Reports that GMS1 games can even run more smoothly when OUT-of-focus on G-Sync monitors. |
|
|
Should be fixed as part of 0029146. Note that we do not recommend a sleep margin other than 10, so issues might still be seen on some machines when running at 1. |
