frame rate issues

[zackforbing]

is anyone still playing this?

I have a 144hz monitor and even with gsync enabled this game is stuttering. if anyone else has this problem, can you share your settings?

144Hz monitors weren't much of a thing when the game came out, it was never tested with it. Better switch to 60Hz before starting it - might even generally be a good idea to switch to 60 or 120Hz for 2D games, sprite animations can not be interpolated.

If you're on an NVIDIA card, open the NVIDIA control panel, Manage 3D Settings, Program Settings, add this game and set Max Frame Rate to 60FPS. It will work fine after that. If you're on AMD, there's probably a similar setting in their driver control panel.

This also works with a number of other games that make really stupid assumptions for refresh rate.
