When even I try to run an experiement I get a grey screen with the message “attempting to measure frame rate of screen, please wait” and nothing happens, it just gets stuck. I tried opening a new project with just one routine the says “hi” and it’s not working. If I don’t brutally end it, it ends wi…

Hey! could you solve it? Same problem here version 2023

We have the same problem using Standalone PsychoPy 2023.2.2 on Windows 10 and a mimimal experiment (just one text component). On some computers, the message “attempting to measure frame rate of screen, please wait” stays for a few seconds and the experiment works. On others, it stays for minutes unt…

We could fix the problem by 1) switching the BIOS setting Video/Primary Display from “Auto” to “Intel HD graphics” (even though there was only one video controller, so it is unclear what “Auto” did differently) and 2) updating the driver of the Intel HD graphics 2500 chip to version 10.18.10.4425 on…

It looks like your frame rate is somehow being reported as <0.5 frames per second, most likely something went wrong during the test and made it take ages to sample a particular frame. If you uncheck “Measure frame rate?” in experiment settings then this should get around the problem by skipping this…

I don’t have such option in the experiment setting, is that a new feature in the newer version? I’m running on v2023.2.1 [/quote]

Ah my mistake, I thought that was added earlier - it’ll be in the upcoming release (2024.1.0) but as will a proper fix for this bug

Any fix for this yet? After uninstalling 2022.2.4 and installing Standalone 2023.2.3 I get the same problem on both of my HP laptops. I eventually had to revert back to Standalone 2022.2.4.

How can I disable this auto-detection of the screen rate? I have to use the experiment without web access, as I need to run it in a hospital. It is possible to write a code snippet to set expInfo[‘framerate’] before the experiment starts, but this, unlike what chatGTP claims, does not stop this at…

Are you talking about the frame rate detection message (frame rate detection is not new) or checking for an online connection when PsychoPy starts up?
