I seem to recall you have had always to turn vsynch on then off at the start of each round to truly get it to stay off. Some kind of glitch in PG, or my set up. That was my experience, anyway.

[Mailman]

I did some testing on a couple of courses that I have played recently where I have to be careful of having the eye candy turned up too much.  For the purposes of my testing I have the graphics set to the Ultra High pre-set (with vignetting & bloom turned off and rays turned off).  VSync turned to Off

 

St Andrews Old Course #9 tee - 43fps -> 180 fps when I activate right-click very impressive

Arcadia Bluffs #1 tee - 23fps -> 27fps and still feels jerky

Arcadia Bluffs #2 tee - 33fps -> 44fps getting better

 

I also maxed out all graphics sliders on the Old Course hole I tested and the fps went from 38 fps -> 162 fps

 

So from my limited testing I think the patch will do wonders for certain courses (such as The Old Course) where I won't have to compromise on visual quality to get rock-solid 60fps during the RTS swing.  But for really poorly rendering courses (on my default settings) such as Arcadia, I will still need to dial down the graphics settings to try and get a smooth 60fps.

 

I saw no deterioration in graphics quality from my limited testing so can certainly confirm that it does affect (in a positive way) the RTS swing so thanks to the author for releasing this patch.

Yeah - That's been my experience also.  I just did a clean install of Windows last week and installed just PG to make sure that no other software would be getting in the way of frame limiting/caps, etc..

 

And I had the same issues with getting vsync to actually be "off".  Very frustrating and annoying.

Yes you are correct - it has always been this way (unfortunately).

I tested just about every course I have on the carousel and about 95% start at either 30 or 60 FPS so you are correct.  Then when I cycle through V Sync the FPS for every course jumps but the increase varies.

Is there any way I can set it up so I don't have to go through the cycling of the V Sync before every round to gain the additional FPS?  I'm wondering if there is something I can adjust in my video card settings.

It seems that the 30fps lock with vsync-on appears in specific locations and directions of view only while my pause render system on Real Time Swing is working and GPU power is enough to keep over 60fps.
The 30fps lock occurs in Windowed Mode and Borderless Fullscreen Mode, but doesn't occur in Exclusive Fullscreen Mode.
So I made Exclusive Fullscreen Mode version "mainData".

So even though I always had V Sync it actually wasn't Off which explains why I had to re-set it to Off before every round.  Other than fixing the bug it would be nice if I only had to re-set whenever I started up JNPG.

I have my resolution set at 1920 X 1080 the native display of my monitor.  Can you explain what Borderless Fullscreen and Exclusive Fullscreen are?  Which one is my resolution?  What would this patch do for my resolution?  Thanks.

[Wirenut48]

I think he meant borderless window which looks the same as full screen.

Two of us have noticed something odd about putting.  As putts approach the hole, the ball just stops and freezes for a split second before continuing for the final few rolls.  Generally within a few feet of the hole it seems.  Hmm not a good effect.

[clubcaptain]

Not seen that.

I have played two multiplayer matches since installing the patch and none of us have seen that on putts.

[Mailman]

Did a bit more testing and the effect is there (for my system) if I have the Cameras and Views setting set to FOLLOW.  I could not see the effect if I left it on the PLAYER view.  Also turn the 'Snap Angle' setting to DISABLED.  Could explain why some are seeing it and others not.  The effect is enough to stop me using the FOLLOW camera view.

Fullscreen of PG(Perfect Golf) is borderless Fullscreen Window in which you can switch between windows by pressing Alt+Tab and come back to PG.
But in Exclusive Fullscreen Mode, once you switch between windows by pressing Alt+Tab, you can't come back to PG anymore.
You get an extra 1fps or more in Exclusive Fullscreen Mode because an application occupies the whole screen.
You should set "Resolution" to 1920x1080 and "Mode" to Fullscreen in Graphics Settings with my 'Exclusive Fullscreen Mode version' patch.

It seems that in putting, after you hit your ball with your putter, my pause render system on Real Time Swing is still working only while camera position and direction of view are being fixed.
So at the moment that camera position and direction of view are fixed, rendering by another camera for outside 100 meters starts and the framerate suddenly drops.

I fixed the following issue for Pause Render on Real Time Swing.
 Doesn't increase the framerate in specific directions of view.

This hitching effect persists with this new version it seems.  My testing course BTW is abelscross where I see this effect.  But some other courses don't have this effect......Not sure what to make of it all.

And I assume that this framerate drop is what is causing the hitching I see.   Presumably the effect more noticeable the bigger the drop.

I installed the second patch, the mainData but it was doing odd things to the game so I uninstalled it.  I then installed the 3rd patch, the Assembly d Sharp but still have to manually change the VSync at the beginning of each round to get the higher FPS.

When you enter and exit Exclusive Fullscreen Mode, you get a few times of short screen blink.
The change of the 3rd patch has nothing to do with the 30fps lock.

I fixed the following issues.
  My pause render system on Real Time Swing doesn't stop in rare situations by fixing the previous issue(Doesn't increase the framerate in specific directions of view).
