Would, er, 'enabling' the disable-post-processing launch option invalidate times?  The game upscales or downscales regardless of the resolution you pick, so it's always outputting 720p 60fps.  It is hard-locked -- not capped, but locked to 60FPS; there's no gain FPS/timing wise from going low-res aside from "my computer can play it this way."  There is an option to disable the FPS lock, as well; my computer isn't beefy enough to go above 60FPS but I can definitely see how that wouldn't fly.

I'm asking because as I've tried over the last week, there's about a 50/50 chance TOTD:Overkill decides to play nice and _not_ lag at every word while I'm trying to stream and record.  I'm guessing I don't have quite enough CPUs to handle both OBS and Overkill, as using a monitor to check it shows it's the CPU that spikes at 80%+ usage.  It could just be as simple as killing as many processing as possible when going to stream, but disable post-processing works every time.

I'd have to see the submission to make the call for sure, does it run _faster_ than it's supposed to with post-processing disabled?

It doesn't feel different in-game, but when I put them side by side, I think it -is- running a little bit faster.

I've found that exiting out of Discord seems to resolve my lagging issue, at least for the most part, and there's no longer long periods of obvious, time-killing stuttering in-game.  There's not really an 'option' to check in-game, but post processing does put a color filter over cutscenes and gameplay and there's far more 'glow' to the lighting with it on than off.

The timer's aren't synced to each other, nor do they start at the same time relative to gameplay, but they're not -that- far apart.   Despite that, comparing the second room side-by-side makes it seem like it's picking up at least a few frames, even before my lousy typing throws the experiment off.

But, hey, now I know. ^^

Anything that involves a human typing is going to really throw off the test more so than the variable we're trying to test for.  Still, I decided to frame-perfect synch your two halfs and see if the cutscenes ran identically.  They do.   (Given the margins for error on the 30 fps video we are working with.)

Please enjoy the relevant part of your test resynchronized.  Also I deliberately made no attempt to fix the double sound and now we have double double sound and that's kind of awesome.
