If you are interested: Brütal Legend's engine uses a fixed timestep for its simulation. Originally posted by Xadion:Maybe even some really juicy technical bits! thanks a lot for taking interest in the thread farrell_david. Please educate me on the matter if possible :)Īnd by the way. Unless there is some special reason as to why. I am sure there is some reason for it to be there, but I can't see why (I probably just don't know).Ī game should either run as fast as it can (be that 20, 42 or 157 fps) or match the speed of the monitor used. In my personal subjective opinion (no offense) this option should not exist.

And I think that includes the majority of the PC playerbase. It will cause all Brütal Legend PC players, that has any feel for framerates, be annoyed by the performance of this game until they find this option (if they do). If your machine can handle it, you definitely want to enable the hi-fi simulation. By default, the game renders at 30 frames per second. The hi-fi sim means the game will simulate and render at 60 frames per second. Originally posted by Xadion:(I don't know what "Hi-Fi sim" does, but I think the game is limited in fps by default in some way, this option seems to remove that). In any case, it allows my game to run 60 fps. (I don't know what "Hi-Fi sim" does, but I think the game is limited in fps by default in some way, this option seems to remove that. Simply because it is forced to do so becuase of vsync if your game can't run with an optimal framerate. This might explain why, even with the correct settings, the game still runs slow and stutters a tiny bit all the time. This image shows a bit of what I mean (notice the white line). My game would run "smooth" at 30 fps (half my monitors refresh rate) becuase it could not, for whatever reason, draw 60 fps.Īny fps of 59 or below clamps at 30 when using vsync on a 60 Hz monitor. If your machine can't / won't run the game with atleast as many fps as your monitors refrehs rate it will clamp at half.įor an example, without "Hi-Fi sim" but with the vsync options enabled. OH! One more ting I'd like to mention about vsync. It must not be easy being a game developer having to port a game from one platform to another, even harder going from a locked configuration of hardware to the random world of PCs :)

That is just how it is with software performance.
And if I set the shadows to maximum in Darksiders 2, it just begins to micro-stutter constantly even though there are no signs of a bottleneck anywhere. For an example with Darksiders 2 I get a little bit of stuttering when it loads. It's usually a struggle and sometimes I just have to accept that I can't get a smooth ride no matter what I do. I never expect anything made for a console to run decently on a pc. I bet I can make double the frames in Crysis 3 than I can in Brütal Legend.
My rig is an old charred (literally) i7 920 and a gtx580.
My gut feeling is that Double Fine isn't a huge enterprise with tons of experience with 3D game engines and huge budgets. I think the developers did rather well with their Brütal Engine. I've seen ugly games run like crap on powerful machines and vice versa. All game performance is limited by its programming and its engine. I don't think we can expect Brütal Legend to run half as well as Crysis 3 which is running on one of the best game engines available.
