UFO Tests - troubleshooting issue
Posted: 26 Feb 2014, 17:56
On the http://www.testufo.com/#test=frameskipping pages, near the bottom on the left where it says " *Problems? Check Your Browser " there is a rollover menu with bulletpoint items related to troubleshooting issues with the tests. A new line should be added there. Something like "If the tests worked previously, but no longer appear to, try exiting and restarting your browser."
The specific browser is Chrome. The issue was that I used ToastyX's Driver Restart application (http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Threa ... tility-CRU; under Quick Start, listed in item #5) to load a different driver, and I had Chrome on before I did that. So after trying to test frame skipping on some random resolutions/refresh rates, they all showed 60hz & valid, but with obvious frame skipping. I refreshed the page, clicked on other tests, and closed the tab and opened a new one. Needless to say I spent a fair amount of time going "duuuh, what?" before it dawned on me that I hadn't rebooted windows and instead used the Driver Restart tool (which works as advertised, ToastyX rocks.) So I exited Chrome and went back in and all was well.
So anyway, I just thought a reminder there might save someone some time.
