MSI AB / RTSS development news thread

> If it's not too much trouble to ask, would you mind looking at Halo Infinite again now that the public beta is available to everyone?

No, sorry. It is a waste of time and not RTSS related.

 

Finished investigation, Epic Games Store overlay is the reason. Due to some odd reason even steam version Hot Wheels Unleashed is compiled with EGS overlay support, so EGL (if it is installed) always try to hook the game and render invisible overlay on top of it. EGS overlay is rendered in a separate swapchain at the same framerate as the game, so cumulative framerate for both game and EGS overlay is monitored. Two ways to bypass it:

- Disable EGS overlay. Epic Games Launcher doesn't contain GUI options for disabling overly hooking, but you can find manual EGS overlay kill way in Google (requires renaming binary EGS overlay components)
- Create RTSS profile for this game and disable injection delay for it. This way EGS overlay will disable itself too

 

Not a question of passive/active wait, not a question of limiter in general. External limiters are intended to cut render thread throughtput and do not do anything besides that. They cannot and will not change game input sampling way, if it is decoupled from render thread.

 

As I promised, MSI Afterburner 4.6.4 Beta 5 Build 16231 ia available. Changes list is the same as I announced a few posts above:

· Added new MSI Windows 11 themed skins (Light and Dark editions) by Drerex design
· Added experimental support for Intel 12th generation CPUs
· Fixed issue which could prevent MSI Afterburner from opening from tray via main application icon after accessing properties via clicking monitoring tray icon
· Application tray icon is DPI aware now:
o OS level tray icons scaling is disabled now to prevent tray icon text distortion. Power users may revert back to the previous DPI unaware tray icon rendering mode via configuration file if necessary
o Added new bigger tray icon fonts for >=150% and >=200% DPI scaling ratios. Power users may also select tray icon font independently of selected DPI scaling ratio via configuration file if necessary
· Application installer is DPI aware now
· RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v7.3.2 final

Grab it here. And traditional note for third party webmasters: please keep it in mind that it is internal preview build for our forum visitors, it is not intended to get in news and to be distributed widely. We'lll launch it in news as soon as it is ready for prime time.

It is NOT a question of framepacing and there is NOTHING to be "supported" by RTSS. Please read post above and no need to continue this discussion in this thread.

 

I think I see a pattern, which can be used to detect and filter extra frame presentations coming from active EGS overlay without risking to break anything else. I'll compile the first beta of 7.3.3 with it shortly.

 

Ok, this will get into future build. First build of 7.3.3, mentioned in my previous post, it already compiled and sent to Hilbert.

 

The first beta of RTSS 7.3.3 Build 26000 is available for download. Changes list is pretty minor, it contains workaround for EGS overlay issue in Hot Wheels Unleashed (posssibly some other games with EGS overlay?), which was reported above:

· Added compatibility profile switch allowing ignoring nested IDXGISwapChain1:: Present1 -> IDXGISwapChain:: Present hook calls. This feature is intended to bypass issues with Epic Games Social Overlay, which is adding extra presentation call to application’s rendering flow and causing wrong cumulative framerate to be monitored
· Added debug/compatibility profile switch allowing disabling IDXGISwapChain1:: Present1 hooking
· Improved protection for pending hook library copy operations. Now RivaTuner Statistics Server is not allowed to be started without rebooting the system if installer schedule pending 64-bit hook library copy operation on the next reboot
· Updated profiles list

Downloaded a demo, tried to enable DX12 blindly in it during a few minutes, then tried different online guides to enable it manually with no luck. Chinese only GUI in game = no respect for others from game devs side. Deinstalled that crap.

 

Had to pay for full version of game to get it in readable English instead of Chinese-only demo and enable DX12/RTX mode. Overlay works fine here:




Guess it is one more unnecessary purchase that I'll never launch again

 

Hehe. Evil you

 

Nope, that's not my gameplay. I'm not a fan of Chinese/Japan art/RPG (read it as hater). Tarkov is my everything
