Levitation animation at hyperspeed

[garfo]

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this & possibly how to fix: whenever I'm levitating (on any character), the up and down bobbing movement appears to move at hyper speed. The game itself runs fine, no other weird jittering or animation trouble -- just a distractingly fast levitation-bob. Interestingly, when I click into a program outside of the client window, the speed returns to normal... but that doesn't help much. Changing window size doesn't impact the supersonic levitation-bob.

This is more of a quality-of-life issue, as it becomes impossibly distracting to play while levitated for extended periods of time -- any thoughts on how to fix would be much appreciated!!

EDIT: Playing on PC, decent setup... can post more technical details if necessary

It does it for me too. DMF should be a slow bob up and down. Mine is a very rapid movement and there is almost no movement up or down. Just a very slight amount.

[garfo]

Yes! This is exactly it. It happens to me with DMF and regular levitate.

Bump -- anyone know how to fix this?

You have to drop you Frame rate in game. It doesn't bother me till I'm in a small area its almost enough to make you sick.

[garfo]

gotcha -- any idea what the ideal framerate is?

[Jimjam]

you can set max frame rate to 99 in the graphics option window. If you have it set at 100, it will actually far exceed 100 on a good machine, which can lead to all sorts of funky side effects.

yea yea yea yea frame rates yawl

lowering your framermate to 1 will allow you to do the famous levitation exploit so you can lev up higher

[Jimjam]

Yea 99 fps for the down bob, 1 for the up bob.

Not an exploit, clearly an intended feature to represent the difficulty in flapping of lev wings! ;)

What ever works for you without to much decline in game play. I like higher frame rate as an enchanters. It's really jumpy obviously at lower rates.

[garfo]

UPDATE: decreasing the framerate in the in-game video options did the trick! I found that 60fps was the perfect balance for me.

yeah i use DXtory for all my frame rate changes.
i prefer 30fps constantly except when falling into The Hole
30fps is just the right sense of oldschool.
