Lign Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I've found new function in video settings 'double buffering'. What does it do?
Pekausis_ Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Pretty self - explainatory. It.. well..."double - buffers".

As for what it does, basically allows the render-thread to be one frame behind the game logic, which has roughly the same effect as double-buffering the output. 1 1
Tobii Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) I believe people have different experiences with this.. Some people say it helps with stutters* while others say it does nothing or makes it worse. Edited July 31, 2018 by Tobii clarification

Actually, I have oneframethreadlag turned off on live cuz it affects my mouse movement, but I don't observe any problems with it on OTW

That could be the reason? Also less people overall on OTW could play a role in that too.

EDIT: Oh, but yeah FPS matters, so since you have higher FPS on OTW you have less theoretical input delay. Edited July 31, 2018 by Similarities

Maybe it works without any problems when the game has the equal framerate as your monitor freq Edited July 31, 2018 by Lign
