Dark side of the moon - jump with vehicle
Hi guys,

I am stuck at the level "Dark side of the moon" in the dlc "The doctor who cloned me".
I am in the vehicle and I have to jump over a big distance using the lower gravity of the moon but no matter how much I use the boost I can't make this jump.

I looked up videos at youtube and I tried it about 30 times. No idea why the hell this won't work.

Is there any way around this?

I really can't believe, that this is necessary. Talk about a stupid bug!

It's not that uncommon.
Lots of games have such issues now, as they were originally designed to run at 60fps. Now, with PCs powerful enough... the higher frame rates cause issues with physics in the game.

Not only the moon level but even in the Monster Truck this happens, tried like 30 times before I did something stupid and somehow my car Spider walked on the wall and made it.
Jesus these games with V-Sync, good thing I have a 144Hz monitor with Free Sync and it does not lag my mouse or input.

AFAIK
You dont have to use Vsync. Its just that the games framerate must not exceed 120fps. Otherwise physics dont work as intended and bugs may occur.
If you have a 144Hz (or even more Hz) display i guess you should not use Vsync in this game at all, because otherwise your framerate may go above 120fps,....obviously....

Of course Vsync can do the trick if you have a 60, 75 or 120Hz display, but a normal framerate cap works too and doesnt induce input lag.

Just prevent the game from running faster than 120fps, thats all.



With my big old 60Hz TV i am using Nvidias Fast-Vsync and a framerate cap at 120fps.
No screen tearing, (nearly-)no input lag ... AND no physics bugs =)
