enhancements:
This is a new ability that allows guncam to detect when a new frame is displayed. It removes a flicker problem, and allows guncam to only capture new frames. This improves performance when frame rates drop below the capture rate. If this option causes you problems, send feedback here. If this option causes problems with a specific game, please include the game's name in the feedback.
