What Does The Synchronize Option Do?

SilverGhost · 01-11-07, 12:02 PM

In the opening game options, there is the choice to check "Synchronize". What does this do?

I think it has to do something with CRT and LCD screens...do not quote me on that!!

I think it syncs your FPS with your Refresh rate of your monitor. Not too sure but I do remember a large & detailed post about it not too long ago. Try the Search function.

I'm not sure, but I do know when you play multiplayer you get a message during loading that says 'synchronizing files'. Now as I have snchronizing turned on always I don't know if I'd still see that if I had that turned off and played multiplayer.

AVH - LOL. Not the same. As you are playing MP the HOST of the game must make sure that you have the same files, therefore his files get 'copied' to your PC for the purpose of the MP game.
