Title: Can't record UFO without lag
Post by: Sen on February 26, 2010, 06:11:48 AM

This is odd...I'm trying to record my UFO runs for YouTube, but the game lags to 45~50FPS whenever I try to record. However, I can record every other game in the series (including MoF/SA), with no lag at all. It just affects UFO, whether I'm running it windowed or fullscreen.

I have tried closing all programs except UFO and FRAPS, basically everything I can think of that would reduce lag. I'm running Windows7 if that affects anything, but I can't imagine why that would only affect UFO and not the other games.

UFO seems to react to FRAPS differently than the other Touhous. Try running the game with 30 fps and record at 30 fps, with a window size the same as the needed for that great tutorial (640x480 i think).

Do you have a link for the UFO VSync patch? I've tried renaming the SA patch to th12.exe but that doesn't work. I can't find a link to the actual patch on Google ):

Unless there's another way to run the game at 30FPS?

I just 1/2 framerated in the custom screen, I didn't need a vsync patch I think..

Oh hey, VSync running it at 60FPS worked like a charm. Thanks!

I'm actually surprised to see that we don't have links to the VSync patches anywhere.  I didn't even learn about them until maybe a month ago, and it took me a little while to dig up a link (http://coolier.sytes.net:8080/th_up3/file/th3_8419.zip) for the pre-UFO versions.

Drake has a link to the patches for EoSD-SA in his download thread, but no link for UFO :V
