Can someone who is obsessed by having smooth frame-pacing and reducing stutter from shitty v-sync + Windows fullscreen optimisations bullshit and the like to make games run really smooth tell me what your experience is with Windows Store gaming?
I read online you could still do these sorts of fixes with a bit of faffing and even use RTSS with Windows Store apps but I couldn't get it to work because it was always forced to borderless fullscreen.
How do I apply command-line arguments to games if I can't access the .exe in the WS folder? I really want to take advantage of all these small games I want to play (and bigger ones ofc, like Yakuza, just not nearly as many of them) but I can't abide that shitty Windows Desktop Manager messing up the frame-pacing and not being able to force Fullscreen Exclusive if I need to.
I know it sounds mad to some but being able to do that stuff is worth just paying the full price of the game for me, which is probably comparably 10x as much as what I'd pay for a month of Game Pass where I can beat several titles each month for £10.
Another reason specific to right now with the GPU shortage is I find most modern games need to run at 1080p or barely above even with optimised settings to properly lock to 60fps so I prefer to go all the way to native 4K + max settings and lock to 30 to have a completely smooth experience, but v-sync lag makes 30fps a total slog, even nvidias much improved half-rate v-sync adds too much so I really "need" to use RTSS in this case to use scanline sync for no added sync lag.
If I had something like a 1080 ti I'd be happy with 1440p60, but 1080p looks like crap on a giant TV with how much detail there is today and how most engines are deferred and/or have terrible AA, its like:
*music swells*
Imagined game voice talking to me: "Check out this SWEEEEEET vista Kuranghi" or "How amazing does THIS cutscene LOOK, its like bloody PIXAR you graphics-whore-bastard"
*Me, squinting at a 1080p image and rubbing my glasses as if they have bacon grease on them*:
This is the only thing stopping me getting Game Pass on PC right now so I'd appreciate a frame-nerd weighing in here if they can, or via PM if they want to hide their shame.
