Vsync in tf2

Cjelli · 07-08-2010, 04:35 AM

Vsync used to work great for resolving my framerate issues. Then after one update recently it got disabled ( I think based on computer specs, mainly gpu) and now when I enable it I cannot hear any in game sounds. Music, in game chat, game sounds, everything is silent until I disable it again. Posting from iPad right now, but I will post my specs and the settings I run on in about an hour or so. Anyone else running into this problem?

Specs:
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
Nvidia 9400M
Memory: 4 GB

TF2 Settings:
Model detail: High
Texture detail: Medium
Shader detail: low
Water detail: simple reflections
Shadow detail: medium/low
Color Correction: disabled
Antialiasing mode: None
Filtering mode: Trilinear
Wait for vertical sync: disabled

im sorry, can you hear it when vsync is disabled?

I can hear the game fine while vsync is disabled. However when I enable vsync I cannot hear anything.

Can you try starting the game with +mat_vsync 1 in your launch options?

Changing the game's video settings in game can have bad results. Starting the game with it on should resolve it.
