PNGTuber+ Running Slower All of a Sudden?

Hey all, so I have a weird issue occurring with my version of PNGTuber+: when I run models on my program now, they all seem to run a lot slower, and the bounce force seems to be stronger, despite the same settings. I recently noticed this when streaming with my partner, where my model seemed to move slower and bounced harder than theirs. Doing some troubleshooting to see what the issue was, despite having the same frequencies (and loading the exact same models), we saw that my computer would move the model around half the speed, which is a real bummer since if I want to make models for my clients, I have to consider what they may see instead of what my computer is outputting.

Heck, the program worked fine yesterday, but all of a sudden, today it is working differently. Anyone else have this weird issue? I feel like it's a bit more isolated on my end...

if you updated to 1.4 some of the values have changed

I guess that's the weird thing for me: both myself and my partner have updated to 1.4, yet I'm still noticing that their model will move/sway faster despite both frequencies being set the same for the x and y values, along with their amplitude--for whatever reason, when it's on my PC, they run half as fast. One bit of evidence I noticed to the problem was that, when looking at the rotational sliders, the rotation circle was spinning back and forth slower than on their program.

I did some looking regarding others with issues with lag or slowdown being with 30/40 series Nvidia cards? The only thing that's weird to me is that I have not experienced such issues, and heck--I already downloaded 1.4 and tested swimmingly. Only today did it start acting strange.

the speed of the model is directly tied to the fps. 1.3 had frame skipping and was more consistent at different fps’s, but would cause models to explode and have weird behavior if u had any lag. i reverted the frame skip change in 1.4, so now the speed is tied to the fps again. If your not having any weird jittering, you can probably just change the fps to whatever in the settings without much issue.

And yeah, ive gotten a handful of reports of weird behavior or 30/40 series cards. not sure what thats about, drivers can be weird.

I can only wager a guess that 1.3's frame skipping actually seemed helpful for me then and perhaps that is why my program seems to run slower. Oh well! I can see if reverting to 1.3 would fix it, as the toggleable costumes I care more for my clients' use than my own personal use. Not to bother you further, but do you think in a future update there's a way to toggle it on/off as a setting? Not a suuuper big deal for me though.

i am not going to make that a setting lol. The frame skipping was removed because it was straight up broken. And it was broken because of how the movement is fundamentally programmed. Basically if i wanted to have a not buggy version of the frame skipping I'd have to rewrite a huge chunk of the code which could just fuck up peoples existing models even more and i dont wanna deal with that lol

if i ever do a pngtuber plus remake (which is possible but dont count on it) ill make sure it all works properly from the ground up lol

wai t how do you get more than one model in for this program to stream together with someone ? me and my friend are trying to do this and we cant quite figureit out, as theres no tutorials for anything like that at all

What I do is this setup:

Stream Guest	Streamer
Using OBS Studio or Streamlabs OBS, place your PNGTuber+ model in your overlay with a greenscreen. Using the virtual webcam function, add your camera on this website: vdo.ninja. Once that is done, you can share the link that will be used by the streamer. Basically, you are allowing the model to be seen as a webcam, so that vdo.ninja can see it to broadcast in the browser.	On the streamer's end, you can now add the copied link into your own stream overlay as a browser source. Simply chroma key the greenscreen out to have it transparent, and now you have it as another stream element. Simply place beside your own PNGTuber+ model, and you can add your friends!
