Let the FPS wars begin so there can be confusion everywhere...
Now those that want to can set a ridiculous fudge factor and show
11000000FPS - WOW, look, waaaaaaay faster than "that other grid"!
I firmly disagree in adding anything that allows artificially inflated
metrics for any value. At this stage the configurable fudge factor is
an even worse "fix" IMHO.
The correct fix is really to communicate the correct value(s) and put
pressure on the viewer developers to fix their lag calculation(s).
People can be expected to update their viewer(s) which is not an
unrealistic expectation. People running old and/or unsupported
viewers already have a plethora of issues they need to be aware of and
things that don't work right, so why is the lag indicator any different?
If we must have this user configurable then, instead of a fudge factor
value it should be a simple boolean setting such as;
ShowArtificiallyInflatedAndIncorrectFPS = false;
ShowArtificiallyInflatedAndIncorrectFPS = true;
On my grid I have made it a point to inform everyone that the
calculated lag indicator is broken and the 11FPS is in the correct and
normal value. I also point out that what used to be shown was in fact
a falsified and artificially inflated value to make things look like
"that other grid". Most people simple say "Oh yeah, I never paid
attention to that anyhow. It doesn't work right any of the time
anyhow". Many then say they looked at the wiki but couldn't find any
information on what to expect.
If whenever people ask for documentation the standard reply from the
dev community is "read the code" then why is it so hard to ask for,
and expect the viewers to be fixed and updated?
