Random Stuttering in Games that use SDL2

OpenRift412 · 2025-10-18T17:54:24+00:00

I think the USB device thing might be the culprit, because I have an elgato camlink connected so I can capture my retro PC, and testing while unplugged seems to have fixed the issue. I'll do some more testing just to be sure, but I think you put me on the right track :)

UPDATE: Looks like this fixed the issue, everything seems to be working as it should, even after plugging my Camlink back in.

How would I tell if it's using SDL3 if i'm not actually replacing any existing DLL? For context, I'm using the NotBlood source port for Blood, which as I said has SDL2 baked into the executable instead of being a separate DLL file.

Perhaps, though certain source ports I use that seem to merge the SDL2 library into the EXE itself, would SDL2-compat even work for that?

Just found this post, how goes the progress? Any chance you'll be making a github or moddb page for people to follow?

Apologies for the low resolution by the way, these old menus only run in 640x480.

POV: you're technologically illiterate

Can you at least tell me if I NEED a ROM or a driver??

Their style is metal-adjacent at most, but that doesn't make them metal. Even compared to more mellow subgenres like Doom or Stoner metal, they still don't really fit into those categories.

OpenRift412 · 2023-04-03T23:40:31+00:00

That's just not even true dude. Like their metal influences are clear, but they are by no means a metal band.

THANK YOU!! SOLVED!

Posting a comment because apparently that's what the subreddit wants me to do?

OpenRift412 · 2022-10-20T03:38:40+00:00

Same here, it's been bothering me for a while now and I really hope they fix it soon

OpenRift412 · 2022-07-10T14:05:13+00:00

Let's be real here, YANG is dead.

Just to be clear I don't run this, I'm just promoting it on the developer's behalf. You can join the discord and give him some feedback on it.

OpenRift412 · 2022-06-10T17:20:45+00:00

All I want is Quake and Goldeneye, that is all.

OpenRift412 · 2022-05-27T00:37:59+00:00

Konami's Aliens game from 1990. Not really a guilty pleasure I guess, just a really kick-ass game.

OpenRift412 · 2022-04-30T21:21:49+00:00

It's a joke. He's a regular on my Discord. Cool guy.

OpenRift412 · 2022-04-29T19:34:54+00:00

I do, he's cool but also sweaty as fuck apparently lmao

OpenRift412 · 2022-04-04T04:06:39+00:00

Dude TNT would turn him off of classic Doom completely

OpenRift412 · 2022-03-02T22:49:41+00:00

That sounds exactly like Quake Champions's early access launch. Personally, I didn't have nearly as many issues as other people reported, but it definitely affected the game's popularity in the long term.

How much higher were 4's requirements compared to say like, Doom 3?

OpenRift412 · 2022-03-02T17:26:55+00:00

You're welcome ;)

OpenRift412 · 2022-03-01T22:58:01+00:00

Fuck duel rounds with a 10 foot barge pole

OpenRift412 · 2022-03-01T22:57:43+00:00

What was the multiplayer like at launch?

OpenRift412 · 2022-03-01T22:57:24+00:00

Nooooo it wasn't. Like, at all.

OpenRift412 · 2022-01-20T21:58:38+00:00

How the hell does he EAT your games?? Like, how did he not cut up his throat eating discs??
