Hiob Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Hi folks, I need your help. I was playing around with the max FPS. I used to cap the FPS in the NvidiaCP but I recently learned about the autoexec.cfg and "options.graphics.maxfps" and wanted to give it a try. So I created an autoexec.cfg in the /user/savedgames/DCD.openbeta/config folder and put the line options.graphics.maxfps = 105 in there. That had no effect the FPS was still around 140 (note vsync, gsync, and maxfps in NCP was all set to off). Than I fiddeled with the grapics.lua in the main config folder. There I found a line which said maxfps = 180. I set that to 105 and tried again. And BOOM from thereon I only had 50(!) FPS and no matter what I do, I don't find a way back. I returned the line to its original setting, I deleted the options.lua (user/savedgames), autoexec.cfg and even the /config/graphics.lua in the main game folder. After I did that, the FPS went back to 120 in the menu, but when I started a mission DCS crashed. Then I did an repair and DCS worked again, but I was again capped at 50 FPS. Last thing I tried was a second try with the autoexec.cfg and the following line: options.graphics.maxfps = 30 ...which led to the game being capped at 25(!) FPS. I'm somewhat out of options... any ideas? please! "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
XPACT Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Well since you fiddled with game folder cfg and something broke, I would suggest reinstall and don't forget to delete config in saved games folder after
Hiob Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) yeah, of course, that will be my last resort. But I am somewhat interested in what causes this behavior. I mean I deleted the only file I messed with, and used the repair function to replace it with the stock file... any other ideas? Edit: and why is it those numbers? 25/50 Edited April 10, 2021 by Hiob "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
Hiob Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Update: I was able to isolate the problem. It‘s actual the Nvidia Control Panel/ Game Ready Driver - when I cap the frames in the NCP to 115, I actually get 115 FPS, if I let it on default uncapped, I will only get 50 FPS. Don‘t know, how I triggered this behavior. I will reinstall the GRD and see EDIT Reinstall didn‘t solve it...

Hiob Posted April 13, 2021 Author Posted April 13, 2021 Stumbled across this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/242896-help-with-fps-locked-at-50/?tab=comments#comment-4623237 So, I am not the only one, who encountered this issue. The solution though didn't work for me. The Workaround helps, but I'm still curious about the exact cause of the problem...
