Media Player Classic / MPC Launch Stutter / Lag

Thanks, I'm going to try that. I haven't been watching & gaming much the last few days, so I haven't had the issue for a while. I'll report if it makes a difference. Thanks, but this isn't the issue I encounter. My games run smooth, no matter if I play Age of Empires 2 HD or Fallout 4. The only...

Media Player Classic / MPC Launch Stutter / Lag

Nothing works properly unless I reboot. With or without a new MPC instance, it makes no difference. Opening MPC by itself doesn't have any issues, only when I actually load a file to play, then it will lag for about 5 seconds before it starts. I can fix the click issue by logging off and back...

Media Player Classic / MPC Launch Stutter / Lag

Okay so I tested with x265, x264 AND XVID, they all do the same thing. Something else I forgot about before is how it seems like I lose control over the Windows UI when this happens. I can't click on anything except most of the time the video that's playing. Obviously the game still works, but I...

Asrock or Asus? Z390

I can't agree more. I've had Gigabyte motherboards die on me multiple times, I had a Gigabyte GPU die, then the one I got after the RMA also died. So I'm not a fan of Gigabyte at all. Asus hasn't let me down once.

For some stupid reason I've been unable to replicate the issue for a while... If I get my diagnostics together I'll update. lol that's Murphy for you...

I'm actually not sure, most of my videos these days are x265, but I'll look into the GPU frequency while playing and see what happens. My drivers are the latest though and the RX560 has been out for a while so I don't think there should be such a bug? I'll test with x264 and see what happens too.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I didn't know that about K-Lite myself and I've been using it for years! Never really bothered to check I suppose. I'm going to try some of your suggestions and post my results.

Media Player Classic / MPC Launch Stutter / Lag

True, but it still doesn't explain why I get artifacts and messed up video in VLC when I don't get it in the same video on MPC. and on the other hand, VLC doesn't have the launch lag that MPC has after I've been playing a game for a while. this is either a Windows 10 issue, or a recent codec...

Not sure, I usually just install k-lite because it comes with MPC and pretty much every codec I've ever needed. Does MPC-HC come with x265 support out of the box?

Media Player Classic / MPC Launch Stutter / Lag

lol. I ended up going back to MPC / KLite, because I remember now why I stopped using it in the first place. VLC has some weird thing where the video image stops moving for like half a minute and then resumes, well, most of the time it resumes. When it does resume, however, it's really laggy...

Asrock or Asus? Z390

My two cents? I can honestly say I've only had good service from Asus, be it laptops, motherboards, graphics cards, heck I've even got an Asus DVD-RW drive I've been using for about 10 years, still works although the tray tends to get stuck these days. No surprise after that long though. They...

Force3D = Cheap Trash?

It's just a bit bulky for a paperweight. And the cables could be a nuisance :D

Force3D = Cheap Trash?

LOL I have funky kidneys to begin with so I'm not sure how I'd do with only one :D I think I'm just going to take the leap and get the 500W1. At the very least it should be better than this 7 year old Huntkey, right? I didn't even consider EVGA before you guys recommended them though so thanks!

Stupid as my home country is, the only local store I can find that has the 500B says it's reached end of life... I could get it from Amazon or wherever, but the import duties / delivery is literally $3 less than the PSU itself. The EVGA 500W1 is literally the only one I can find locally that...

Media Player Classic / MPC Launch Stutter / Lag

I think I'm going to switch to VLC and get it over with, even if it's less convenient. At least it's not giving me this weird issue. I don't think it's that, I'd be playing an old game like Oblivion while watching a 720p anime clip, then it will work fine for 3 or 4 videos and then when I skip...
