this is usually because higher settings reduce your CPU bottleneck since lower settings don't use much of your GPU

Why?

Something was wrong with the Utawarerumono PC ports
Connor Barnes
It's an extra process that prevents screen tearing under the assumption your GPU updates what's on-screen faster than your monitor does
In most cases, unless your monitor is old as shit and can't keep up with the image updates, you should keep it off so you don't have a process that slows things down for your monitor on purpose

It's Battlefield 2042 if you're wondering. God what a shit game.

depending on how the game handles vsync it might drop the framerate to 30 fps if you ever go below 60 fps

I have the opposite problem with most modern games; Medium/High/Ultra look practically identical besides stuff like texture quality, yet the higher settings still impact performance

Menus usually have uncapped framerates, same shit that happens here

How do you fuck up something as basic as quitting the game?
Sebastian Anderson
Never played Underwaterrayromano but that happened to my computer if I didn't restart it every month or so.
Samuel Green
Same thing happens with Maplestory.
If your computer is on for longer than a week, loads of spells will fail to function correctly, usually not dealing any damage or detecting enemies when cast.
It's an issue which has been known for 7+ years, but it's virtually impossible to fix, due to the game's codebase being nearly two decades old and nobody's touching that shit.

BIOS was waiting for the disc to read to see if it was bootable media
Dominic Flores
I have FPS caped in the driver, so unless the game overrides it somehow then it shouldnt work like that

How the fuck does that even work? Are spells based on your computer clock or something?

A few years ago I was playing Sven co-op and Beatles songs would randomly start blasting at full volume while I played it, took like a month before I found out there was a CD in my PC and Sven automatically plays whatever is in randomly
