How to lock your FramesPerSeconds (FPS) Ingame and Menu

(SeroX) #1

There is a way to lock your FPS on either the menu and in-game.

go to: Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\ShooterGame\Config\ShooterEngine
In this folder you can find these commands:

[Engine.Eninge] (This is I think made for the menu of Dirty Bomb)
bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE
MinSmoothedFrameRate= Value
MaxSmoothedFrameRate= Value

[UnrealEd.EditorEngine] (This is I think made for Dirty Bomb In-Game)

Make them:
bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MinSmoothedFrameRate= 5/22
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=make this the max FPS you want.

Hope you guys understand this, else feel free to respond and I’ll help you out.

Why would you want to lock your fps?

Can I just do Bind “x” “MaxSmoothedFrameRate=” in config?

Cheers, hope I can bind commands to keys.

You don’t want jitters during gameplay primarily.
So say outside a firefight you get 150+fps, but as soon as you enter that hotspot and bullets are flying everywhere, you’re frames drop to 70; it can cause quite a difference in how the gameplay feels at 70fps compared to your usual 150fps. It may all still look pretty because you’re eyes can’t tell the difference between those frames but you can (typically) feel a difference, even if only slight.

How exactly works bSmoothFrameRate ?
What will happend when I set MinSmoothedFrameRate= 30, but my computer can generate only e.g. 20 fps during hard battle ?
