MSI AB / RTSS development news thread

Hehe, I'm rather satifsied with new beta development progress and beta 17 with new functionality is around a corner Small preview of upcoming functionality:



Stay tuned!

 

Yes, Vega arrived. I'll proceed with supporting it in nearest future once we finalize plugins implementation. Also, I think I've added almost everything I planned for official 4.4.0 version launch, so there will be probably couple more betas focused on polishing/ stabilizing new functionality, then we'll launch official 4.4.0.

 

Thanks, Marc. Back to RT roots

 

Hehe, wanted to show you the link with results, but you were faster

 

I doubt that it is working nicely "as is" with Forza Motorsport 7. Both Forza Motorsport 6 and Forza Horizon 3 use similar sophisticated multithreaded engine so they need specific RTSS profiles to work stable, otherwise those games would often crahsh/hang on startup during loading. I'd assume that Forza Motorsport 7 needs some similar profile. However, I've not tried this demo myself yet to say for sure.

 

All

We can expect a bit more of original RT functionality in new beta. More features from original RT task scheduler module is being ported to AB now. Currently alarm thresholds defined in MSI AB hardware monitor are indicated only visually (in monitoring window and in OSD), but original RT allowed you to program some activity on alarm. I'm adding similar programmable features to AB now, so you'll be able to program AB to do something when alarm conditions are met (e.g. when temperature is too high). It will be possible to define alarm timeout and action, so for example you'll be able to play alarm sound or launch some external application (e.g. shut the system down or launch AB profile with fixed 100% fan speed).

 

Hehe we go, one more preview of new beta functionality. New task scheduler and alarm thresholds in action:



I think we're really close to launch it as public beta, probably next week or even this one.

 

I've just installed Forza Motorsport 7 demo here and confirmed my guess - it is rather similar multithreaded D3D12 rendering engine like in previous Forza series, which tend to present frames concurrently from multiple threads (during detecting optimal dynamic system settings during loading the game). OSD hooks can cause the game to freeze in this case during loading, so specific RTSS profile for it is absolutely required. So those who experience such issues with this demo can simply copy ForzaMotorsportApex.exe.cfg to ForzaMotorsport7.exe.cfg in RTSS ProfileTemplates subfolder.
