The Dink Network

Hi all,

I'm new, and I have a problem lol
After some time I wanted to play Dink Smallwood and some DMODS again. But ingame Dink is running at amazing speeds! It's terrible :S

I've read somewhere that tuning your refreshrate down should help, but it didn't work at all.

How can I make Dink run normal again?

Thnx!

Hmm. It has always been my experience that setting the refresh rate to 60 hz fixes the problem. Maybe you didn't lower it enough?

And yeah, 60 hz is awful on a normal CRT monitor, with all of the flicker, but you don't notice that in the game itself.

Then I have a problem since my monitor can't go below 75Hz
But i've always played Dink on 85Hz in the past so I don't understand why 60Hz would fix it. The 75Hz didn't do it for me :/

The only thing I think it is are either Windows updates (still running SP1 though) and gfx drivers. I have a Geforce 4 Ti4800. Maybe I should downgrade, but if you know another solution please share it with me

Hmm... are you *sure* your monitor can't support 60 hz? I believe with the older drivers, your monitor would automatically go into 60 Hz when doing full screen games like Dink.

So it should be able to support it...

I guess I should install some older drivers to find out and hope it'll work :/

It's not the refresh rate of your monitor, it's the VSync. Turn it on.

If Dink Smallwood is running to fast you simply have to tell him to slow down. Just turn on your microphone and tell it to him...he should look at you and nod his head. Dont worry he wont mind.

Seriously,

Mine does that when I have the "hardware acceleration turned off.(I have win98)

Alright, the vsync did it. How stupid that I overlooked something that simple

Thnx for your help guys!

I had the same problem and the mic thing fixed it for me. He stopped right where he was to turn and nod.
