I tried all possible combinations last night, and let's say i find one that works.
D3D9 (shader), first v-sync off, assisted vsync on, hardware cursors on, slow frontend workaround on.

Rope is not on 100% like with unchecked both vsyncs, but let's say it's on 70!
Laggs and freezes are reducted, but not entirely gone. While playin Big RR, noticed blury screen on the top of the monitor. Kinda f@#!ed up, but it's ok, can get used to it.
Just don't want to go back and rope on 50% again.

Hope you all find configurations that suits you the best.
Cheers!

Could eliminate some screenlag by removing PX/Rubberworm, if they're installed. Or just install a fresh copy to another folder and have 2 installations.

Other than that, lowering your in-game resolution usually helps quite a bit. Or get a better video card.

Don't have px, and tbh, I don't think rubberworm could cause such laggs/freezes. Never experienced something similar. Screen is cutting whole time while on rope, but those freezes.. man.. not just it f@#!s up the screen, my speakers start to tremble also. Quite awkward! Apparently it's low quality monitor. I'm planning to buy one for some time now, but never in the world would have thought i'll need better graphic card to play W:A... 

That was kinda cheap finish for a player of Ren's caliber. Totally understand dibz's anger.
But yeah, far from sitter - legit move in tus rules.

I use Direct3D 9 (shader) and have both v-sync boxes unchecked. With v-sync on roping feels weird because of the delay. V-sync limits your FPS to your monitor's refresh rate. I have a 144hz monitor (=144 fps) but even then roping feels better with v-sync off.

Yeah, really do feel weird to turn v-sync again after you tried without. My monitor's refresh rate is 60hz

Wanted to buy logitech k120, which sounded pretty nice for that price.
But there was no any in store and was in a hurry to rope - so i took genius slimstar i250.

Reviews are pretty good, and soft keys are actually feel nice, i prefer those.
But keylock on space + ghosting on remapped keys (after pressing it with same time as cursors) sometime make me wanna throw it on the ground and start jumping on it.


Anyway, getting off the subject here. Cmon tus hackers, we need some answers!!

Are you sure it's the settings and not your computer/keyboard etc?

I've tried all of them and my roping seems the same on every type of setting, I do have a good keyboard though, and years of experience, that helps I guess.

Currently I have DD32bit, and v sync is checked, I do get the odd tiny lag spike but I get that lag no matter what settings I use.

Is there any evidence that 3D9 is better? You make it sound like DD32bit gives ropers a disadvantage??

I actually always thought that my 20$ keylock keyboard is the one making problems.. But after turning off v-syncs and checking slow frontend workaround box - rope got much easier to use.

Don't know which tehnical aspects cause this but my fps jumped from 50-60 on 300+, after changing settings.
Now.. is the low graphic card/monitor that causes freezes or is it unstable fps...
Remember playing CoD2 few years ago. All online players locked their fps on 125, 250 or 333.
I wonder, is something like that possible on W:A!? And would it be helpful in any way..

Guess we need to wait for some thoughts of pc experts. I know they're hiding somewhere on tus.

Hi all!
Last night I was ready to call it for the evening but stayed a bit longer cause StepS was online and willing to explain me few things about getting bigger resolution for small monitors etc.. (thank you for that, it worked).

After that, I started to fool around with W:A advanced settings. While I was doing that, bumped on saltyk9 in #ag, and had a nice talk. Meanwhile, we discovered I was playing on wrong settings my whole worming career. Graphics were set to DirectDraw 32 bit, both v-syncs turned on, slow frontend workaround was unchecked...
Anyway, he told me to set direct3D9 (shader) and turn off vsyncs. And.. IT HAPPENED!!!

I discovered rope for the first time after 3 yrs of playin. Never was aware of that "delay", before that moment. It felt like I was roping on 50% all this time. Man... Pumps, wizards, outlaws, dragons.. you name it! It all became natural now, without any obstacles. But ofc, my happiness was short lived.
New features brought new problems too. Constant screen laggs, jittering, flickering, cutting, freezing.. So ugly freezes that even speakers started to act weird.. 

It's so ugly that is almost unplayable.. But what the f@#! should I do now? Don't want to go back on DirectDraw32. After sensing un-delayed rope, I can't play with old settings anymore. Even with all those negative side effects last night, I roped better than ever before..


Is there a way to solve this problem without buying new monitor/graphic card?
If anyone have some good suggestions, pls help, getting desperate here!
Ty

If it bounced then ofc it's void shot. But you didn't understand. I said: the moment when it stops moving should be the moment when hole is done.

That rule of staying still for 1/4 of a second is kinda hard/impossible to get on some maps.

On some maps it's impossible to have 0.25 sitting nade. The moment it sits is the moment you finished hole in golf! At least it supposed to be like that.

Imagine if we had "undo" key in offline mode. That shit would be awesome for map making!

1 more NBR member.. Wtf you guys trying to do? Take over the world?

This should have been intense ending.. But that nade rattle on last turn (@27:11).. Wow

Lol Adnan, no offence, but isn't the same thing at your place too?

Darts: The Masters

Phil Taylor - Jelle Klaasen 1 @1.47
Not much to say about this bet. Phil Taylor, 16 times world champion, THE GOAT in darts. Yeah, ofc, ppl will say: he lost touch that separated him from the others.. he's getting old.. his 180's are not that often anymore.. he's never gonna pull another 9 darter.. Komito is better.. etc. etc. Well, i say: f@#! off! This guy still can throw, and he can do it better than anyone out there, even now, with 55 on his back! Watched him numerous of times last 5-6 yrs.. He never stopped to amaze me with that unique style and cocky,arrogant approach to the game. When he's in the zone, no one can stop that. Just lay back and let Phil do what he does the best - win darts matches!
Klaasen is talented player, should not be underestimated. I actually wanted to bet on him 1 month ago when they played. Kinda felt momentum is on Jelle's side, and he really did it in the end. He won against Taylor 4:3 and went to quarter-finals. Because of that i'm even more assured Phil would not let that to happen twice in a row. Tonight is the night! Payback is gonna be served, and it'll be cold, just like it supposed to be!


Little something, just to see greatness of this guy. Remember watching this and jumping off the chair... Brutality!
Watch from 6:00 to 6:59 (and van gerwens 180 just after.. what a match!! what a commentating!!)

 







Snooker: World Senior Championship

Mark Davis - Ken Doherty 1 @1.59
One more sport that I'm in love with, and is also ruled by bunch of UK guys (chinese taking over, watch out!!), is definitely Snooker!
Mark Davis, unlike Ken, needed to fought his way through qualifications to get in last 16. And he fought alright! Won 4 guys without losing a single frame. I think bookmakers gave too much credit to Doherty in this match. Even tho 1.59 on Davis is not some crazy big odd, I see much value in it. Tbh, didn't follow snooker lately, and can't say anything about form of the two, but, Mark is just class above Ken. At least he was last time I checked. Even now, looking at rankings, he's 20th, while Doherty is settled on 47th place. It's a big difference, hope he won't slip tonight!





Won bets: 1/2

Just another day in the office for these guys. Hope someone placed few bucks.
