MSI afterburner bug report & suggestion

Nobody give my any right correct answer for this problem, I found it itself how to solve this, but even that this is not correct as should be with this software, sorry this is my opinion, you can not agree with me.
If someone do not mark this option "Apply overclocking at system startup" will be have same situation as I had, everytime after logout. I don't thing that is normal.
Also I tried yesterday AB on different friend computer also with GTX 1070 card, same situation so please do not tell me that I'm annyoing child. Trust me I old pc user which can see what is right what is no correct at all in software.
I'll be grateful if you check this itself if you can and don't want waste your time anymore.

 

What do you talking about user activity and knowledge what has that got to do with this ?

Application CANNOT change anything itself without my knowledge, for me it's simple, no matter what I doing, restart, logout, shutdown.

I leave this function "Auto" ON, logout/login and should stay ON, no matter if this option "Apply overclocking at system startup" is activated or no activeted. That's my opinion, and I'm sure most people agree with me, I'm sure you not.

 

When Logout task manager not giving me any warnings about killing apps/process.

I LIE for what ? please.

OK no more post from me if you think that I'm spamming here. I wanted to help to improve this software to no one have same situation as I had, looks like we have different point of view, thanks anyway for conversation.

 

Even with latest 7.0.0 beta 3 i can't have voltage for my RX480 set to 1.175V under load with afterburner having voltage slider set to max. This is only possible when i set it with Wattman.
I guess that this does mean that wattman global settings override afterburner settings? at least for voltage settings.
Not that i will use this nonstop, but i was wondering what is going on with voltage setting

 

Hi Unwider, not sure if you considered a suggestion that I left here.
But Fraps is really getting outdated and don't support Vulkan or DX12 APIs and even worse if we consider UWP, I use it mainly for making logs of the framerate.

That feature is available too on MSI Afterburner, altough it gets a little hard to use because we can't define a hotkey for start/stop logging.
There are games that don't like too much alt+tab either.

So do you think you can add a hotkey for start and stop logs in a future version of MSI AB or is it asking too much?

 

Curious thing is that, you posted that yesterday
But, in quick answer, yes I would love to see that, I do a lot of FPS Registering and a benchmark and hotkey would without a doubt being very helpful, fraps don't support the latests APIs, and MSI is now almost supporting everything
(Well Dota II OSD didn't worked for me with vulkan, but I didn't cared), so it would be the perfect benchmark tool.

Cheers and thanks..

 

Is it possible to include the "apply" button in the settings window?. The current "help" button has no use and is disabled. It would be very useful to apply successive changes without having to leave the settings window every time you press the "OK" button.

 

Does anyone knows workaround for OBS and Riva?
I use 660Beta1. I have a game in borderless fullscreen under D3D11, I use Riva to limit fps to 80, OSD disabled. If RTSS server is up OBS displays black screen (only audio), if I shutdown Riva and Afetrburner - alle good.

 

The RTSS properties OSD preview view doesn't zoom for me, and never has. At least I assume the rectangle is supposed to represent the whole display. For me, it's just 1:1 the pixels in the corner. The OSD is way off the preview by the time I get it to my preferred (1281,1) position.

It's easy to demonstrate using the new "capture screenshot" functionality of the preview while on the desktop:



Note the "60" OSD mark being almost half-way the preview window even with the x-coordinate only being 101.

 

Ah, got it, thanks. Might I suggest a different wording for the hint? The meaning is not apparent, and I only now understand it that you explained it to me. Something like:

Separate from that, I have a few ideas:

1) make OSD positioning relative (% of screen) in order to make the positioning work similarly regardless of the display resolution being used;

2) make OSD font sizes relative to vertical display resolution (same reason);

3) allow moving of the OSD while in-game - this could be used to tune the OSD position around game UI elements. Currently you need to Alt-Tab out of the game to do it, and some games don't like that. Maybe add an RTSS settings toggle that enabled/disabled this, in order to avoid unneeded hotkey collisions - you really only need this functionality rarely.

 

I already use this, just make your game use frameless window instead of fullscreen. Now you can have RTSS on top of your game and position OSD right.

 

2) Not a fan of this idea, maybe as an option. I've used AB OSD more than a hundred times to see that I'm not actually running in a proper resolution at the moment - from the size of the characters.

3) Setup a hotkey which will turn it on and off whenever you like. I usually have it off by default and turn it on via a hotkey only when needed. No issues with OSD hiding UI elements this way.
