[bmx vanilla] 144hz monitor and 60Hz game

[wookie22]

Hello!
Does anyone tried to set 60hz graphics mode in Bmx on 144Hz monitor? I have 60Hz monitor but one of my game testers got game running at double speed. Is it normal behavior?

I used Graphics(1280, 720, 32, 60) (DirectX 9)

Do not tie the game speed with the refresh rate.  You cannot guarantee that the person's graphics card and settings will honor the software's requests.  Instead, use a fixed timestep or delta timing.

I thought that it was CRT era and now every monitor serves 60hz. Am I wrong?

Yes, the monitor may support 60hz but if the user has vsync turned off on graphic card settings or the GPU driver reads the default refresh of the monitor and insist on running at that then you'll run into these issues. Setting the hz in your app may have no impact at all. It will on some but not on others. unfortunately you can not rely on stating the hz like that.

You will need to add timing code to your app to cater for different refresh rates of monitors and those that force vsync off.

ALWAYS base your game off of calculated delta-time.   even regular software.
