are you using double buffered vsync? that can cause it. use triple buffered. I think rise had both.
Yeah I was using double buffering, will change to triple buffering. Thanks.
I'll need to look into the different vsync options, there are still some stuff I don't know about.

Just checked a bunch of reviews, game received really good scores basically everywhere, I might need to buy it now. I finished Dune pretty much, so I got time for a new game....on the other hand I wasn't happy with any XCOM like game so far, not even Gears Tactics or Phoenix Point.
ebi-hime has written a range of VNs so where to start may depend on what style you're most interested in. For something more on the cute side of recommend Blackberry Honey for a kinetic story or Strawberry Vinegar if you're looking for one with choices and multiple endings. Of her darker and somewhat disturbing stories there's Sweetest Monster for kinetic and The Way We All Go as a branching story.
There are also a few free ebi-himes VNs you could check out first with Once on a Windswept Night, Six Days of Snow, and Lynne.
That's cool that they have such a variety! I appreciate you taking the time to reply and even link to everything :)
I like dark stories, so I think I'll start with The Way We All Go and Sweetest Monster, but I'll check out the free ones too.

Have you considered Troubleshooter?

Game Over, T1D: Games with Links to the Diabetes Community
We’ve teamed up with JDRF and gamemakers for a bundle to help cure type 1 diabetes! Get Super Meat Boy Forever, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Sam & Max Save the World, and more.

Out now, also on GOG
Played the demo (no longer available, apparently). It's a cute diablo with guns. A tad soul-ish, you keep running the same (procedural) level to earn currency and unlock better guns. there's a dash move to help you avoid projectiles, which comes in especially handy for the bosses.
If you usually want v-sync turned on, just force it on in your GPU driver, that way the implementation will at least be consistent across titles
Yeah. I'm getting a "No Internet Connection" with anything related to Steam.
Yay, glad that was resolved quickly
I was playing Gunbird since that's the only game I had installed that would launch lol

My game Groov (some may remember it from back in the day on XBLIG) is on sale for 40% on Steam this week! It's a bite-sized dual stick shooter that's all about the integration of the gameplay progression with the dynamic soundtrack. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1503430/Groov/
On the Steam page: "It's like Geometry Wars mixed with Beethoven and Jesus. That's all you need to know." Cinema Blend
OK, I'll buy it lol
I see that AEW's game has a name now, Fight Forever, and is coming to PC.

Looks kinda rough, but that's almost expected from a Yukes game sadly. Still no Jade Cargill announcement either.
AEW Video Game Officially Called AEW Fight Forever, PC Version And Two New Wrestlers Confirmed
The latest livestream from AEW Games has confirmed a few new details.

Being an AEW fan who has no interest in wrestling games as opposed to their actual competitive fighting game counterparts, Street Fighter/Guilty Gear, it pains for me to say this....
AEW ought to cut their losses if they can't produce something up their own standards. There's a sizable chunk of their performers who are very into games themselves, so it might be tough to play/promote stuff that didn't turn out well.
That being said, I would be glad to eat crow, purchase the game on Day 1, and enjoy it tremendously.

With several Tomb Raider threads popping up recently I'm suddenly wondering if the Underworld dlc will still make it to pc. Haven't heard anything about it for a while. Come to think of it, Soul Reaver has been gone from the steam store for a good while now. Hopefully the sale won't affect the work on either of these.
I dont know where else to ask this lol

I just bought Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters from cdkeys. This game looks pretty good and apparently the campaign is very meaty.
You can find some solutions that do the "choose your own adventure" style game.

Bethesda only shows their games a few months before release everytime.
This is most likely when the big info blowout is gonna happen.

I didn't realize Makai Kingdom and ZHP were coming out in a few days, so they just got moved to the top of my list for this month.
If you like western SRPGs in the spirit of XCOM/2 and Gears Tactics and you enjoy / can stomach Warhammer 40K then I am here to shill you the just released reincarnation of Chaos Gate, named Daemonhunters.
Do you know how people often complain about cheap 40K games and how they miss Dawn of Wars and THQ's Space Marine? Are you one of those people? Well good because this new Chaos Gate isn't cheap at all and indeed it has great production values. Full in-engine cutscenes, cinematic story, good voice acting featuring Andy Serkis, high levels of polish. The game has a somewhat unique art direction so YMMV here. I think the overall presentation is fantastic.
The gameplay is the biggest surprise and a delight and I can only echo the praises sung in the PC Gamer's review.
The battles are XCOM x Gears x Phoenix Point. From XCOM you get the square grid, the way cover works, destructible map, armor, the way enemy pods behave, weapon ammo and the UI. From Gears you get their overwatch and fancy executions that can regenerate actions. From Phoenix Point you get (sorta) more granular APs and (also sorta) precise targetting and limb destruction. The game has its own ideas too: you can topple shit on the baddies (nothing kills a heretic quicker than the Emperor's statue falling on their face), yeet people over edges of the map, AP refunds if you pull a pod while exploring (THANK GOD) and there's a Warp mechanic which is a nifty push your luck system.
The strategy layer of Chaos Gate does not disappoint. XCOM is the blueprint again, you can build shit and upgrade your ship, research and dissect enemies, equip and customize your knights and you even get an equivalent of the council debriefing on regular intervals. This is mixed with a Pandemic type of system where Nurgle's corruption spreads around the map and you play the ever-escalating game of whack-a-mole, trying to keep things in check. It is excellent.
So if are an SRPG enjoyer like me then the game is an easy recommendation. It's not perfect, the performance especially is shit (hello Unity engine) and there are other nitpicks but it's not a big deal. Just get it!
PS. And if you are hungry for more SRPGs or just can't stand grimdark in general then check out the just released King Arthur: Knight's Tale from Neocore. It's not as bombastic as Chaos Gate but it is a great game as well!

In the mood for persona 4. I have golden on my vita but kinda tempted to get it on Pc. I know it's higher res and 60fps etc but does it run okay? Some reviews talked about Denuvo being annoying. A game that slow paced would be okay to play on my iPhone with the backbone via streaming too.
Runs fine, it's incredibly undemanding on your hardware, so any Denuvo overhead (which shouldn't be there!) will be of minimal impact to your gaming experience. As long as your PC isn't from the early 2000s and connects to the internet every month it'll be fine.
Nice only a bit over a month to go. Seems like The Callisto Protocol will probably be there.
The unreal engine 4 stutter is really severe in Trek to Yomi.
Really noticable given the perspective and how the camera shifts. Devs have to start doing something about this shit
