Weird "lagging"

[Hyperversum]

So, it's kinda of a strange problem for a definitely old game, but I have both camera movements and character model animations "lag" a bit, as if the game was stuttering and having an hard time running the game.

Needless to say, my specs are well above the required ones and I have played through FC without even ever seeing such a thing. Any idea?

i would try to launch the game in direct 8. Had something simillar and just done that, problem is gone for me.

That kind of "lag"/"stuttering" being present is just how these games are, as far as I can tell.

No, that is not how the games are. I've never experienced anything of the sort.

What are your specs OP and what are the graphical settings you're playing at? Also check out the hard drive the game is installed on. Is it maxing out during gameplay... does it fail health checks? Microstutters are often a sign of drive slowdowns from my experience.

Try setting the framerate to "Automatic" in the config or ingame and let vsync do the limiting. I've had constant little stutters when using the built-in 60fps limiter.

Definitely not as they game are as in the FC nothing like it was present.

Turns out it is this. I have no idea why, but that's it.
I did a clean install and checked on my laptop as well, still microstuttering happened as soon as the limiter is set.

Weird, but easier than what I expected.

Don't tab out of the game if you do tab out restart the game since that causes issues until you restart

this only happen when i change window alt+tab out of the game

As said above, changing the setting above worked anyway.

Nah it didn't work for me, automatic and v-sync right? still happen after alt+tab out of the game.

This is something I noticed too. So annoying, considering FC did not have this FPS drop issue.

Yes yes, there's borderless window, but it always has issue with screenshot software screenshotting its own overlay lol.
