Not to get technical, but it isn't black and white, you have a third option to open the source up and let others contribute. You've done an amazing job and it is a great product, but you don't have to take on this challenge yourself. There are others of us out there that are excellent software engineers that would love to contribute, as you, out of pure passion for doing so. You could still control the source and what features make it in, but you could free up a lot of your time doing the more trivial "option 2" parts and leaving that to others while you work on the more interesting "option 1" parts. Anyway, I'd really hope that any criticism doesn't cause you to just take the ball and go home. It just means that people are using your hard work, and opinions are like a$$holes - everyone's got one.

Good luck on this, read between the lines, but thanks for the cash $$$ Regards

Oh, Finally time to install Afterburner on my Tablet! THX a lot 🙂 BTW, why are people making such a huge fuss about betas expiring? Just download the new version and all is fine.

Thanks for the new unified monitoring option, it was a bit crazy before.

The new RTSS makes Banished stutter like crazy. To enable steam overlay I had to activate "Custom Direct3D Support", and with 6.0.0 I could have steam overlay with no issues and the game ran smoothly. But with the new version, the game stutters really bad, I can't play it. (Also tried to disable "Custom Direct3D Support", the game stutters less, but still stutters). If I close RTSS, the game runs great like before. Please look into this, there might be more games affected. I run the game on DX9 and 64bit. Also:

Now refresh interval is set to 500 ms and can be adjusted by power users via the profiles if necessary - Updated profiles list

Does anyone notice that the OSD for FPS is updating a bit slower than before? Currently it is updated about every 0.5sec, previously it is like 0.1sec till the point that you are unable to see what is the number after the decimal. Someone please confirm this for me, I hope this is an intended change as I prefer the current speed.

Phew, at least I'm not alone on this issue. I wonder what the problem was that had it reverted because I thought the new method didn't use more CPU like the old (but current method it seems) method where it updates every half second.

Peek into RTSS release notes, it is reflected there.

Try to go to .\ProfileTemplates folder and copy OLGame.exe.cfg (Outlast profile template) to Application-steam-x64.exe.cfg (Banished profile tamplate)

A bug in beta 19. After monitor switches to standby and GPU does, once woken up the GPU temperature isn't updated, but GPU clock is. Restarting Afterburner works. edit: Windows 8.1 x64

There are zero changes in this area between the versions. Address that to display driver developers.

I would have thought that if beta 18 didn't work perfectly. But it did.

Thanks a lot! That fixed the stuttering issue.

im a newb when it comes to this stuff. I only play one game on my computer and its a flight sim. I downloaded msi ab pretty much just to have control of the gpu fan. I initially had the beta version and since I seen the beta time out I switched to the 2.3.1. Its worked awesome so far. the only difference ive noticed is that I no longer have cpu monitoring. is this normal? what is the big deal about having the beta version compared to the non beta version(2.3.1)?

I didn't see anyone answer your question . 2.3.1 "might" work fine for basic functions, like fan control but i am pretty sure it won't support OC very well on GTX 7xx as there no boost2 support . Of course newer beta has many new features of monitoring and vid capture just to name a few, read readme for full feature list .

that explains it, i was looking for a 3.0.0 non-beta.

Doesn't exist (yet)

does riva tuner have a lockout date as well?

No. Riva Tuner ist the predecessor of MSI AB and isn't up to date.

and if so does that link come with a rivatuner that works on 64bit games?

No

Well, those who flamed about stupid expiring betas can be happy: you achieved what you wanted, well done. MSI want to release final 3.0.0 right now which means that I can safely freeze/cancel any new features development, because we treat current build as 100% feature rich. We’ll add only R9 295X2 support to 3.0.0 beta 19 then release it as final 3.0.0 build in closest weeks. Also we’ll try to leave without any public betas (and so without any major feature improvements) for some period of time, so similar to any other vendor overclocking software new AB versions won’t give you anything besides new GPUs support.
