light bulb physics issue

[Sai]

i just got the game and lights that have physics on them (moving etc) keep twitching like crazy and its honestly affecting the game play.

i cant get a clean shot, sometimes the light will shine on me for a split second revealing me.

is there a way to fix that?

i think you need to keep the framerate to max 60fps or else dynamic moving objects like curtains, flags and probably hanging light bulbs will glitch.
you can do this with Vsync 60Hz or just set a framerate limit at 60fps.

i tried vsync same issue just less annoying

it's because the game runs like in 100 fps. you can try lowering the fpslimit in your widescreen ini file.

Hi. Any luck with fixing the issue? Setting fps limit didn’t work for me. Though I’m not sure it has anything to do with fps in the first place, because a couple of years earlier the game worked just fine, and I was playing on gtx1070. Maybe the problem is in windows 11, ddr5 or newer cpu. Back then I had 6700k, seems like newer cpus can behave strangely with older games.

can you make a video so everyone can see how the problem looks like?

Clean install, default settings, 60 fps

okay. i dont see the problem.
was expecting a lot more because you guys called this an "issue".

im sure this is exactly how it has to look, nothing "crazy" about it.
one could argue that it looks a little exagerated but i am sure it is just ment to show off the (very well done AND AWESOME for this time) dynamic shadow effects from the game.
nothing out of the ordinary here, you can see the same on the PS2 and Xbox version.

Xbox version: @11:54
and @23:15

btw, this is not happening on every light in the game, just some ones hanging on a cable.

i have the same but in many places its spazzing like crazy

Outside of the annoying swaying, I don't see the issue either, (no twitching). however, for that kind of movement there needs to be air rushing through the passage

[Ghidrah1]

I just viewed my own run and the same thing occurs, (swaying passageway light) while still in the cell room with the shooter. But I don't look up at the light, (keep eyes level) as I move through the passageway, as soon as I enter the passage the light stops moving.

How do you guys get the video image link of your vid examples instead of the typed?

That movement is normal, happens on my game which is the DVD version ive had since 2005 patched to 1.05.

Just paste the youtube link directly without adding any forum BB code.
