Ok just tested something.
I was run SM5 B1a with d3d,800x600,windows,vsync off and i was have 87 FPS on mainmanu (shit laptop with GeForce M520 meh!)
With same settings but with OpenGL i have 135 FPS.
That is low,I know.On 3.95 i have 250+ FPS.

EDIT:
SM5 B1a,CyberiaStyle7,1360x768,Window,OpenGL,Vsync off + "Disable visual theme" and "Disable desktop composition" I have 230+ FPS in game.I am happy with this.
Time to practice play on SM5 ^_^

Hey bomba, do you have any issues trying to MA stuff on SM 5? I'm using Sm-ssc (which looks pretty damn similar) but I just can't MA at all on SM 5.

Ya man,I have the same problem.Playing with SM5 is just awkward for me.My MA is 2x beter with 3.95,I just dont know why!?Its like timeing isnt same like 3.95??!

Thanks for the info foxyfyre. I know many people have complained about timing being *off* with SM5 but no one reports it properly or explains it in further details. If the problem does exist the SM5 team needs to be made aware in order to fix it.

How do I run SM 3.95 or SM 5 beta 1 with OpenGL and d3d? I don't understand that stuff, honestly. I should be able to get atleast 50 fps during online gameplay on SMO if it does work, because I get below 10 fps when editing a chart in sm 5. In 3.95, I get 80-150+ fps, depending on what part the editor is doing, like going into the chart editor, but it's really good to use 3.95! Also, where do you find the OpenGL or d3d stuff in SM 3.95/5 beta 1?

This release of StepMania 5.0 is amazing. I had so many issues with the last version that I played on which was preview 5 I think. It's significantly more stable and runs almost flawlessly. I would probably use this version more than the old ass 3.95 I used to consistently use. Impressive shit, developers. =D

EDIT: Current PC's that are using this build.

Toshiba Satellite A350 and an Acer Aspire (added nvidia geeforce 9800+, amazing little video card)

Even with older computers with XP still installed (P4 Extreme) it runs really well.

I had these settings: Windows XP, Fullscreen, No vsync, 640x480, OpenGL, and I got 25 fps on the main menu. It's crap.

I used the same settings but used d3d, and got 45 fps on the main menu, but the fps sucks everywhere else other than the main menu no matter what video render I use. :( I will test this on 3.95 in which I say it is not a crappy version, and see what I get. My computer is a Dell Windows XP computer in which IT IS NOT CRAP, and I still get low fps on sm 5 beta 1. Any more help? Otherwise, I will have to use sm 3.95 from now on, because I really want the fps and game crashing problems fixed, but no one at ajworld.net even bothers to solve my sm5 beta 1 problems. >:( SOMEONE OVER AT THE SITE HAS TO HAVE TO HAVE DECENCY TO SEE THE PROBLEM, ATLEAST!!!

No offense to all of you, but I have tried to recreate all and every single one of these problems and i ended up being unsuccessful. I have no idea where people are getting framerate issues from. Without vsync on, i pop at an easy 500 or more frames per second (1,000 even while in the simfile editor), not to mention the notice of smooth gameplay (scrolling of arrows especially).

Maybe people need to upgrade some of their hardware? That's the only thing I can think of. =\

Is it just me or all song that I have full combo only worth 4000 score? doesnt make any since on stepmania 5 beta 1a.

Just pointing this out that SM5 Beta 2 has been out for a while... (They converted over to DX9 now.)

Edit: I am going to quietly lock this topic since this is old news...
