Hobby projects don’t have deadlines
Hobby projects are guided by mysterious magical smells, not crass requirement docs.
I'm currently setting up automated backups for my NAS. The free 200€ credit for the backup service expires November 19.
You can't pay people to care.
I disagree, I think if you provide ownership of the company as part of compensation you can pay people to care. No big companies do this, but I think they could!
Dreams of ownership are just dim shadows compared to blaze that is an autist's love for his project.
In that case, they then care primarily about the success of the company. The quality of the product is secondary as long as it sells.
I've come across this utility before - using it seems to add input latency according to the reviews it has on Steam. So using it to increase performance isn't really better than not using it, it's just a tradeoff.
If you're not sensitive to input latency then that's likely going to be a good tradeoff for you, but if you are (or play competitively) it's not.
I use it. It's fucking amazing for certain games. I can only run cyberpunk at like 50-60 fps. This literally makes it run at 144 with very minimal issues. A fast processor and freesync/gsync eliminates the input lag almost entirely.
Best case for it is to run fps locked games at higher fps like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
Still wouldn't use it for online shooters though and it doesn't play well with quite a few games. But when It works it really works. So much so I just have it launch to my system tray and I casually flip it on whenever I try a new game because sometimes it's really nice.
Like sometimes in a game the camera movement will be a tad choppy. This cleans up most choppy cameras. It's just a neat thing to toy with
FSR 3.1 (specifically 3.1, not 3.0) added an optional decoupling of the frame generation and the upscaling, but yeah that would still need first party support from the game developer. I should edit my comment to explicitly mention the frame gen possibility, didn't realize that was something people were using this for!
Why does OOP call it a FPS? Is it to gain some frames per second?
That's one of the program's common usages, yeah. Among other things (like integer scaling for pixel-based games), it can be used to:
- render a game at a lower "internal" resolution and then apply one of several upscaling options to make up the difference, improving performance and hence "free FPS", and/or
- generate intermediate frames between "real" frames, which I guess you could describe as "free FPS" (but the quality of the intermediate frames will be so-so - there's lots of tests and stuff of frame generation more broadly if you're interested!)
edit: added frame generation
am autistic, can confirm
side note: Red Eclipse is a free (both as in beer and as in speech), open source FPS that's actually quite fun and could use some love

Fuck, I am sold. Never seen it before and looks phenominal, time to lose multiple weeks to this alone
Sauerbraten technically mentioned !
That gameplay looks a lot like my old school favourite ut2004. Can you comment on how it compares?
linux support when?
They promise to do it at 7% market share
It recommends FSR for modern games and bilinear filtering for pixel art.
FSR is already supported on any version of wine using DXVK AFAIK, so if you're gaming on Linux, you have it.
it's also called gamescope -F nearest
or using blinue/magpie on w*ndows
Windows?
🤮 sorry had to throw up after hearing such a fucking vulgar word
More like Losedows
Only they are allowed to use that word.
Where can I download free FPS? Is there a site like that one for more RAM? I don't care if it comes with lossless or lossy scaling, I play at native resolution.
I'm not sure where to downwoad moar FPS, but you can always incwease the amount of dedotated WAM at https://downloadmoreram.com/

Costs $6 bucks but I found it to be worth a try. IIRC there's a free alternative now but that was after I bought it.
It uses 'frame generation' to essentially make more frames at the cost of slight delay. Tbh I can't notice it but others say they can. It can also do scaling but you can just it at native if you want.
I found it to be useful in games where you're not directly controlling the character (FPS games). I use it for Kenshi as that games pretty unoptimized and doesn't need fast reaction time. Also Minecraft just because Minecraft just really needs antialising.
I was attempting a joke because I thought the anon meant a good first person shooter
IIRC there’s a free alternative now but that was after I bought it
Any idea what it's called?
It works and is pretty cool. I have a good PC so I can't say much about how much it actually helps but playing Kenshi smooth was a cool experience.
