thank you for sharing your experience. Now I wish I had a 144 monitor.
Those usually run at around ~100hz. Hard to believe these games would not be adjusted for ~100hz frequencies.
do they? i have yet to see a single one break the 60hz mark. and i have quite a few crt's going from 1980 to the early 2000
and im quite sure that on age appropriate hardware thief would not run at more then 60 (actually im quite sure of that, i still have my tnt2 here)

on win9x, oldDark has no problem running at 100FPS with correct timings/physics, so no problem with a crt. things were kind of crap under win2000/xp, as it was either running 60FPS/60Hz with correct timings/physics and letting your eyes burn, OR tolerate the game running in hispeed mode at anything higher. the solution was to run a paused audio/video clip that would use up D3D overlay in the background and then run the Dark game. no matter how nuts this sounds, it worked and allowed proper timings/physics AND sane refresh/FPS rates at the same time.
good old times.

CRT monitors flicker visibly and uncomfortably at 60hz. They usually run at at least 75hz. I remember mine was always at 100hz. 75-100hz is not uncommon for CRT. To be honest I haven't seen a CRT display running at 60hz.
Would be great if NewDark could be fixed to run at higher display frequencies without problems.
