Axesor Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hey I just wanna ask, if there is any option to limit FPS? Summer is coming and my notebook starts to overheat=game starts heavy breaking for like 5 minutes and then it goes smoothly untill it overheats again. I'd like to limit my FPS to like 30-40 frames to prevent my computer from overheating and game breaking. I know some games have this option and it would be nice if this option was added to setting's of this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Goku Posted May 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2015 You could try and run udk.exe with this param udk -fps=24 but i've read that the free version udk ignore that? Plus ive never tested it myself lol (note i'd make a bat file in the game dir with udk.exe and paste in udk -fps=24 and run the bat file n see if it makes any diff) Hope this helps. Goks Edit: also try F5 Stats FPS in game so you can see your true fps. Maybe there is a FPS option in the console? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted May 19, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 19, 2015 I.... think lowering your graphic settings might help... I don't know for sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypeL Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yes there is. Look for a smooth frame rate setting or something like this in the inis. You need to activate that plus setting the frame rate cap (also in the ini close to the smoothed frame rate setting). It might be the systemsettings.ini but im not sure atm (not at home).

Canucck Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Pretty sure smoothframerate has been broken since beta4, at least it doesn't work for me anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axesor Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I hope I found it! Renegade X-UDKGame-config-UDKEngine.ini [Engine.Engine] bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE MinSmoothedFrameRate=22 MaxSmoothedFrameRate=30 (changed from 60 to 30) Hopefully it wont blow my laptop up. Thx for responds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axesor Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Ok its not working. My FPS is still 40-45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted May 19, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 19, 2015 I think lowering your settings might help the overheating issues. At the very least it will decrease the works in your hardwares You can give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axesor Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I already have lowest UDK setting possible. I am asking especially for FPS limit possibility, becouse in other games it helped me from overheating. Yes, my fans are also clear. All I want to know is how to set FPS limit.

Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted May 19, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hmmmm I can't really help you much... let me check UDK's documentary hmmm found something. In the shortcut's properties, add '-fps=24' at the end of the Target textbox. Don't add the quotes btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axesor Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Since today I am using Nvidia inspector for limiting FPS and its working fine (well, sometimes it turns off FPS limit by itself so I have to rewrite it and run RenX again. Its just annoying). Main problem is that I dont feel confortable when I have to turn on/off limitation everytime when I wanna run another game (for example Robocraft) where I rly dont need 30 FPS limit. So I'd like to find solution in "core", change some values in file. Gonna try this "-fps=24" thingie. If it wont work, guess I must live with it Thank you all for your responses.

Even on a desktop that has decent cooling if you let the main menu idle too long and it's hitting 300+ you might end up damaging your card (happened to people in tribes ascend). Smoothframerate fixes that If smoothframerate actually works for someone here since B4, can they post their UDKEngine.ini [iniVersion] lines?

TheOlsenTwins Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Have you tried the one below, the one in [Engine.GameEngine] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RypeL Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I followed this instructions: http://eliteownage.com/chivalryfixes.html With this i limited fps to 30 for testing and it worked perfectly for me. Note that you need to change UDKGame\Config\UDKEngine.ini and Engine\Config\BaseEngine.ini Search for "bSmoothFrameRate" and change to to TRUE, and set MaxSmoothedFrameRate=60. You have to change this in 2 spots in each of the files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted May 20, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 20, 2015 Or buy external fan, though in my case sometimes it didn't work and my laptop ended up shutting down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
