Everyone,

I just bought GE on Friday and love it. I am working on my first game and when I run it in game mode it is not crisp. I basically have a object moving across the screen like in space invades and it is glitcy. Is there anything that I need to do to smooth this out?

Regards from a 3 day newbie.

My computer has plenty of power I just know I am missing something simple. Running XP nvidia video card dual core 2gigs of ram.

can we see the GED to see what is really going on? thnx in advance

I have a couple simple circles going across the screen and it jumps like in 3 places across the screen. Tested on multiple computers still no joy. I have worked in blitzbasic and I had to do something with vsync but I have no ideal on how to achieve smooth movement in GE. I am planning on only creating my games for the pc so I would like to use at least 800 * 600.

You can increase the frames per second in Config->Game Properties. Make sure to lower your actors speed accordingly.

I increased the game properties to 80 fps and that has fixed it. Is that really the best fix?

That I know of. There was another post on this, but I did not find it helpful. They were discussing the width of the sprites and how movement should be done in multiples of the width.

Well bad news its fine on my laptop but the bug still exist on my desktop.

Ok, day 4 bytes. But there is no way I am going to give up. Please take a look I can not even make one small actor move smoothly. I know it is simple.

Thanks,

Rudy

Is that the right data folder? It won't load because it is asking for a ttf.

Sorry about that. Here is the correct one

I am pretty ticked off to be honest but will not give up because there is no way GE could be released with this bug! I hope I did not waste 93 bones. I do not want so sound sour but I just am trying to make a actor go across the screen like space invaders and it's performance is not acceptable for selling a game. There has to be a way to sync framerate. Hopefully someone will have a answer.

I tried not using a graphic to rule out my file.

Tested on multiple computers

Maybe GE is only for cell phones which is really a bummer.

I've seen the game test and, yes, is a very ugly bug.
By setting the game to Full Screen mode, the results are better, but not perfect.

I've created a ticket at:

Any help to solve this bug will be welcome.

Please, If you want your money back, just send me a PM.

I've never had this problem before, but your laggy.ged did tear badly, like you said.
I have 1.5 g ram and running an ATI x1050, and I always use 60 fps for games.

See if these instructions will help you, as they eliminated the screen tear for me at 60 fps.

Open the laggy.ged.

Create a new actor. Load a graphic for it. On the normal/infinite tab set it to xinfinite.

Give it a createactor>script editor:

xvelocity=-6;

or whatever number you want, but make sure it is faster than laggy's speed.

Now try it.

I gave that a try but it produces a enemy that last forever. One thing that I did notice is when I showed the game to some of my testers it seemed much faster on their computers but still has the jitters. Mak when you take a look at the problem I think it might have something to do if the client is at 16 bit or 32 bit. I can much better speed when I set it to 16 bit but it is still not acceptable for selling a game.

Oddly... I don't find it choppy at all, just a very little skipping, but that's normal because the eye can see 70fps and the game is at 60fps.
When I set the FPS at 70, it was smooth, perhaps you should do the same?

And on a note: I don't have a strong computer at all...
