The star effect is lagging!
Hey!
I noticed that the effect "Stars" seems to be stuttering no matter which quality setting I am on.

System:
RTX 2070 Super
Ryzen 5 3600

Hi
The stars move slowly when the music is not playing. While the music is playing, the stars accelerate in bass sounds. If you're talking about this, it's normal.

Edit; It stuck in my mind and I checked it out.
You're right, this problem occurs due to lack of pixels at resolutions lower than 4k because I set the wallpaper for 4k screens. I added new options to fix this. Increase the "Sizes of stars" value, for example use a minimum of -2- for 1080p.
Thanks.

Hey there!
No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm on a 4K screen btw. anyway.
The problem only occurs with the stars and it looks similar to a frametime issue.
It's strange, as it does not seem to affect the wave effects, and occurs no matter the quality or framerate setting. I'll follow up with a video link in a few minutes.

Here's the video:

Note: I am running the Windows 11 beta. I highly doubt that it has anything to do with that though, as other wallpapers with similar star effects do not have the same issue. Also, I should not be limited by my hardware in any way, as I mentioned before.

Have you fixed the stars framerate in anyway that could cause a frametime mismatch?

Also, I would love to see the stars having an RGB Sync option as well ^^

I understand what you mean but I don't know how to fix it. I searched for a solution but couldn't find anything. Some effects on my other wallpapers also have this problem.

I'm very new to the Wallpaper Engine community, but is there a way for you to get in contact with the Wallpaper Engine team and the people responsible for rendering live backgrounds?
Because sadly, this stutter is very noticeable and distracts a lot IMHO, and I really want to use the audio visualization part of it. Great work though!!!
