Issues fixed
Can't double jump
- When running above 60 FPS double jumping doesn't work and Duke can get stuck when intending to climb up ledges, landing on downward-moving platforms in the final episode leaves Duke stuck in a jumping animation until the platform starts moving up again, making some sequences difficult to complete
- The game uses Vsync (enable by default) both in Direct3D to OpenGL mode .but in Windows 10 in Direct3D mode it doesn't work because the game uses DirectX 8 and Vsync of DirectX 8 in Windows 10 is broken.
Change driver from Direct3D8 to OpenGL or vice versa and set monitor on 60hz[11] |
---|
Cap the framerate to 60[citation needed] |
---|
Use (d3d8to9 only windows 10) and set monitor on 60hz[citation needed] |
---|
Vsync (Always on) not working on Windows10 (Direct3D8 mode)
Download d3d8to9 file. |
