Levitation animation at hyperspeed

garfo · #1 10-02-2017, 06:53 PM

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.

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.

gotcha -- any idea what the ideal framerate is?

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 · #9 10-04-2017, 06:14 PM

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! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.
