Toggling video resolution changes FPS...hmm - 06/02/02 06:18
Hi,
I just noticed something I hadn't before, perhaps many already know this and I'm not observant , but when I run a level with the debug panel on and then hit F5 to change screen resolution, I notice the higher the resolution the lower the FPS gets. Thus a screen set to 800x600 has a lower FPS than if it were set to 640x480.
This being the case, it would seem better to set the video mode in main function to reflect a 640x480 resolution (video_mode = 6), correct?? Or am I missing something. Is there some reason why one would not do this?
thanks
