I figured out why this is happening, and happens mostly with vsync off. its because of the way i am capturing change events.BPzeBanshee wrote:Woohoo! TATE works! Unfortunately I just discovered that the fullscreen toggle seems to lock me into fullscreen rather than go into Windowed mode. It does *something* but it just seems to flicker in and out. Odd. Scanlines definitely work too and look beautiful.
I cant replicate this at all. apart from the vsync off jitteryness, i dont see any slowdown. however i ll try running it on different system and see if it happens.BPzeBanshee wrote: Furthermore, I think I'm definitely having some kind of performance issue happening. When TATEd I find the game slows down when I use a bomb.
BPzeBanshee wrote: On the bright side though, the jitteryness I was having turned out to be from whatever timer system you've got in place (or at least I think it's that), because turning vsync on made it run quite smoothly apart from feeling a little bit laggy in input.
