i dont think it can be allowed if i am right because its altering the game significantly, i might test it later to be sure
I briefly tested it yesterday, so I can't say that does it crash. But it definitely runs at full 30fps speed, stock version seems somewhat sluggish. Could be that this mod just makes it run like it was intended, but devs screwed something with the final polish. To me, 30fps is the standard on old games apart from couple ones (DOOM's 35fps for example etc)
The game runs at 30fps with no patches applied. It is in fact the intended way to play. The sluggishness is caused by forcing windowed mode.
stock FPS is 28 FPS, for whatever reason from what i can tell, but either way at least the new peixoto patch is a lot faster it seems like. I have not been able to get the FPS to show on peixoto patch yet, but i can get to that first computer WAY faster than i can without it. Also character breathing animations are clearly faster than they are supposed to be
of course the other possibility is that my game was running slow cause of DXWND for some reason...i dont know if anyone can tell for sure looking at my run
ok so, if i used DXWND in a window i get 28 FPS, if i used DXWND fullscreen i get 31 fps, so its possible piexoto is running at the correct speed , or maybe its even faster, but my game was running slow
Force VSync option on Peixoto seems to affect the performance. When you enable it, the game runs slightly sluggishly, disabling it makes the game feel tiny bit more fluid to play. Question is that which one runs the game at intended speed.
Edit:
Dxtory showed these FPS values with the VSync options:
Enabled = 30 fps Disabled = 32 fps
So, if using Peixoto, you have to enable Forced VSync to have the standard/stock 30 fps speed. . . . . . . Edit2:
Seems that the forced resolution mode has effect to the fps as well.
When you disable it, the game is stretched to 16:9 at stock resolution, running at 28 fps.
Enabling it makes the game run at correct 4:3 scale, in monitor's resolution and the speed is correct 30 fps.
so with the game running at that i believe is the correct speed, using DXWND but not forcing a window, i already got a 1:20:02. This runs at 31 FPS, so it still makes me think Peixoto might be faster, when i did my first playthrough on peixoto for example the credits were turbo speed.
this 1:20:02 i got had a few mistakes so hopefully i get a clean run tomorrow
Takes some time to figure out the best settings for both systems. Generally we all propably agree that 30 fps should be the standard which the game has to run on. The only difference is the visual quality, Peixoto has higher rendering resolution vs. patched game + DXwnd.
yeah, and every FPS is a few minutes of time save, so we probably should be going for vanilla as possible, and not Peixoto....I have not figured out how to show FPS without dxwnd , my rivatuner is not picking up the game
Hey, I just found out that Win10 has built in FPS counter via that Game Bar feature. Gotta test out that could that be used as the FPS indicator for the game, and will it be visible on streams/recordings.
Well since there is some issues regarding it, it should be visible. I know that it's silly yea haha. I got the gamebar fps counter working, but it's not visible on OBS, so it's useless haha.
ok, i can get FPS to show with rivatuner at medium detection level, oddly if i run the game vanilla this causes the game to run very slow, but with Piexoto i can get it at a locked 30 fps...so maybe this is the best way, assuming piexoto does not crash
Well gotta do some runs to see whether it is stable enough for speedrunning. A definitive fix patch for the game would be dope.
