Hey all, for the first time, I was super excited to connect my gaming laptop to an external monitor and run two screens. I run three clients in general and so the benefits of this are pretty obvious - even if it’s just to run Pathfinder on the second screen…
I have recently spent a lot of time in the Abyss and I have noticed that when I switch clients (using Eve-O-Preview), there is a 1-2 second almost slow motion animation after which point the client catches up. As I am sure you are aware, thsi is a major issue if you’re fighting for your life in the abyss!
I have tried to trawl the forums deep and, so far, I have:
turned off Game mode
disabled the Launcher hardware acceleration
introduced a frame limit for inactive windows (via Nvidia control panel)
introduced a frame limit as a multiple of the faster refresh rate (in my case the laptop is at 240hz and so I have set the frame limit at 120hz given that my monitor is at 144hz)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as the problem goes away if I use a single display but I am DESPERATE not to have to do this.
Thank you @ISD_Drew - with such a high-end gaming laptop, I’m loathe to go to DX11. I saw another post suggesting that ISBOXER can solve this in a few clicks. Is that something you’d recommend?
Generally would rule in/out DX12 being the issue first to troubleshoot. If stable with DX11, then can troubleshoot with tech GM’s/support if you’d like to try and get DX12 working. They are on the lookout for DX12 specific issues.
Have now tested and, unfortunately, I get the same issue even in DX11. I’m super bummed as my old rig (2014 build) may not make all the graphics look so pretty but at least there isn’t this weird lag issue. I would be most grateful of any genius ideas from you!
