Well at least now we know that the game breaks when the FPS is high, that's one good thing that came out of this saga.Įndothermia Endothermia and OsamaJT OsamaJT like this.A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Midtown Madness 2 is a free roam racing/arcade sequel to Midtown Madness, part of the Midtown Madness series, developed by Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego) and published by Microsoft Game Studios, which features a range of vehicles which can be driven around London and San Francisco. I am going to attempt this speedrun again, and hope that I get a time similar to the WR. I decided Id seen enough after a while and reverted back to 1065. The only thing that worked correctly was the bloom effect in OpenArena, which I dont use anyway. I truly apologize to anyone it has caused stress or confusion espiscially O s a m a J T O s a m a J T and Endothermia Endothermia, or just even bothered them that I had an unfair advantage. I didnt by any means run comprehensive tests of the 1083 driver, but what few improvements there are are more than negated by the drop in performance for some apps (Midtown Madness 2). Other than that, all my runs since July 2020 have an FPS counter, and I am not using the 75Hz mode of my monitor, but I'll still make sure that all my runs (regardless of the game) have FRAPS or MSI Afterburner's overlay displayed on top. Having an unfair advantage doesn't sit well with me, so I have removed the run. However, due to the margin between my invalid run and 2nd placed run by O s a m a J T O s a m a J T being small, I never noticed the irregularity of me achieving such a low time. I've removed my invalid "19.740" Dearborn Dash attempt from the leaderboards, because I investigated and found out that I was most definitely playing at 75FPS instead of 60FPS at the time of the record, (by looking at the timer sync) which in turn broke the game's physics engine (due to its age), and made me achieve a seemingly impossible time by inadvertently having an unfair advantage.

If you are using VSync with a higher refresh rate than 60, cap your framerate to 60 (Dxtory can do this too, among other programs).įor current runs that do not display the framerate, I have no way of telling what the framerate is, so I would appreciate existing runners checking their settings to see if either VSync is disabled for the game, or mentioning if the monitor used at the time of the runs was better than 60hz to retroactively apply the rule. You must display your framerate using something like Fraps or Dxtory from now on, with the framerate capped at 60. However, they complained of the game suffering from choppy frame rates. Now, because this may also affect MM1, I will be enforcing the new rule for this game as well (not that there have been any submissions for ages). Two sequels followed, with Midtown Madness 2 being released in September 2000. This wasn't acceptable, so a baseline of 60 fps was agreed upon (with FPS display required) to keep things fair for everyone. So MM2 runners discussed why there seemed to be some variations in some people's times for Ignorance is Blitz, and the conclusion was reached that having a high framerate does affect the physics in an advantageous way.
