MSI AB / RTSS development news thread

Copy both "Profiles" folders and msiafterburner.cfg from C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner and C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server

 

MSIAfterburner.cfg for the MSI Afterburner software is the default config though and is updated with new settings so if you've made changes to this file directly then it might be a good idea to check via something like WinMerge or other comparison software if anything has been changed, added or removed when you update Afterburner.

EDIT: Oh I'm being blind, the actual .\Profiles config file is named the same thing.
(There's also PCI device config files here corresponding to your GPU.)

For RTSS it's "Global" and "Config" also from the .\Profiles folder, there's a .\ProfileTemplates folder as well with the default settings but you probably shouldn't edit those directly.
(Copy/pasting into the user generated files instead would probably be cleaner.)

 

First thank!

With all the new Betas (they are great), I need to restart my PC (Folding@Home User so 24/7 ON). So, can I ask, if there is a special reason why the PC need to be restartet for the use of a new Version of RTSS ?

 

i tried download RTSSSetup770Beta7 but i have error Object not found!

 

Yes I know that, a restart was allways needed (sorry for my poor english ;-) ). Ok if that is needed, so I will restart my PC, no problem. It had only be nice if it where possible without.

 

Dito.
[edit]
now works, just downloaded.
thx

I think I found an issue

MSI AB 4.4.0.9776 Beta 3 + RTSS 7.0.0 Beta 6

I was playing around with alarm and threshold.
In the monitoring graph @framerate I set min value to 25. Intended to have alert when FPS drops down to 25 or lower.
My D3D9 game was stable @60fps (limited by RTSS with game profile) and FPS was in red. MSI AB displayed alert for framerate.

When I don't use min value i don't get an alarm at all:

I tested some other monitoring entries, but this issue was only @fps

btw: same issue, when I don't limit fps

 

In the info dialog this game is the only active 3D application
Are other 3D applications set to "detection level: none" still considered in the calculation?

The windows of MSI AB and RTSS are in front, just for the screenshot. Having the focus on game still has same effect.

still no issue?

 

ok, will do.
thx for clarification.

 

Does ghost recon wildlands OSD work with the new RTSS 7.0.0 Beta?

 

The game hasn't been updated further so the EAC software it's using remains unchanged since the previous 1.1.5 patch thus no changes to the games whitelist or blacklist of various third party software.
(Which seems to be based around digital signatures.)

That and 7.0.0 is still in beta.
(Unwinder posted some more detailed info earlier about how this works.)


Looks like I missed the beta 8 update earlier today, guess it depends on what's discovered in the current available versions but perhaps a full release of Afterburner 4.4.0 and RivaTuner Statistics Server 7.0.0 isn't too far off now.
(Well what would I know, certainly feels very stable though but I'm just one user.)

 

Ok so, I've discovered a weird issue with Rivatuner + Vulkan. I'm running the latest of MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner 7.0 Beta 8 from this thread.

If running Rivatuner Overlay and playing Doom Vulkan, and you load a level, get to a checkpoint, and run a little bit away from the checkpoint and die, the loading times become VERY long, sometimes over a minute, and this is while Doom is installed to an SSD. The loading indicator before it turns into a percentage just spins for a very long time, once it finally turns into percentage it loads as normal.

Now if I do the same thing, with Rivatuner off, or just setting profile Application Detection Level to None, the game loads as normal, takes 5-10 seconds, jumps to the percentage loading indicator immediatly.

I repeated this many many different times, combos with Steam overlay disabled, SLI disabled (even though vulkan doesnt support SLI anyways in Doom), and the only thing that made a difference to the loading times was Rivatuner Overlay.

I presume that something with the Vulkan Rivatuner Hooks is interfering with the loading of the game.

Edit: BTW if I run the game in OpenGL mode, loading checkpoint works fine with Rivatuner.
