controls (unable to play)

(No comment was entered for this change.)
I might have encountered a similar issue . When softdroping a piece, the
piece got stuck and wouldn't lock or do anything. I was still able to chat
on the nullpo server.
After the game it said i dropped 6000 pieces at 10pps in the stats window.
FPS spiked around 200-300 at the time.
I've never had this happen, although I have heard about things like it
happening... I wouldn't be surprised if the soft drop issue was related,
though, even though it seems to only be going fast-forward behind the
renderer or something if the piece on the screen froze.
This is really strange.

Added a fix of this problem in r724. Hope it work well.
repetition314 is another player with this problem, do you know what
settings should be used to avoid it?
As I wrote before, enabling vsync should fix this in general. I never
encountered any of these fps spikes with it on.
im pretty sure this happens in 4-6p rooms when you alt tab out of
nullpomino (i.e. minimize the window) and then alt tab back in to it.
you think that issue where game for some people start faster than for
others is connected to this issue? or we should start new issue?
A user (Ukrainian4Life) found a settings combindation that seems to reduce
this issue.

Ok, so I know some people who play Nullpomino have the same issues that I
have been having, such as: FPS over 200 at the beginning, and then FPS
dropping down to below 30 (although this may happen in 6p games). I
tinkered around with the settings that people have said to be "ideal", but
the game would still not give me my 60FPS! Ambivalent.png So I then went to
my settings and changed a few things and I have no been having no issues
during the start of the games and my FPS doesn't drop down to an absurdly
low FPS count.
The way my settings currently look is (going in reverse order, starting
from the bottom of the 3rd page of the General Options):
FPS Dynamic Adjust: on
FPS Sleep Timing: render
Vsync: on
BGM Streaming: on
FPS Perfect Yield: off
FPS Perfect Mode: off
Frame Step: off
Max FPS: 60
By switching to these settings, I have been having less issues with
Nullpomino. Let me know if this works for you!
This still happens sometimes for me even with these settings on - I am not
sure what the criteria are for it happening, though it seems to have
lessened in severity recently
