So I learned the hard way last night that playing at 120 FPS is not a good idea. What do i cap the frame rate at? 60fps?

[TheNightSlasher]

60.

 

I hate anything higher because it forces me to play a more weapon oriented playstyle and is quite unfair to a lot of cqc/melee classes. And I personally dislike playing weapon classes. 60 feels a good compromise between smoothness and the AI accuracy for me.

I wouldn't know. I'm a peasant.

I'd up the FPS if I could as I'm more a weapons type (and it'd help as I like to FRAPS my matches, which means 60 FPS cap goes down to about 45-50 during recording), but I don't feel like rooting through .INI files to cure the problem.

 

60 FPS is standard cap for most games, either way.

[NuclearTech76]

IDK that BW ever officially said but I think 60 is the recommended FPS. If you get really high shield recharge gets jacked up I believe. 

 

I think someone had a thread about the effects of frames on gameplay, Caratonoid or something like that (apologies if I butchered the name).

My framerate is the default 60 fps but the AI behaves as if it was 180 fps or something. Reapers are extremely fun and but other 3 factions seem to have overdosed on energy drinks. Possessed Scions are almost impossible for pugs to deal with, sniping with multi-frag grenades.

Keep it in Single Player, and cap it at 60 for Multiplayer.

You can't even react to anything faster than 30 fps

Wat.

[chcknwng]

30 is good.

I once played at 30 FPS . . . gave me a headache.

So even if I couldn't react to something faster than 30 FPS, I would still prefer 60 FPS.

[Excella Gionne]

I play at 30 and lower on PC. PCConsolePeasant.

The human eye can pretty easily percieve framerate difference from 30 - 80 or so. It needs to get above 100 before you're unlikely to notice the difference.

Wasn't speaking of noticing a difference.

[capn233]

Whatever you want to play at, although the game is self limited to 62 max IIRC "from the factory."

 

If you wanted to stay at 120 but have 60fps AI, you would need to double the interpenemylocspeed value.

As pointed out above though, shield recharge has problems at high framerate.  I am pretty sure Caratinoid had a fix for it, but I don't know what I did with that file and so I can't host it.

Yes, but human muscle response is (of the order of) a hundredth of a second, presumably what was meant by the remark.

Yeah. I might've been on the really low limit with 30 fps, but anything above 60 will not noticably improve your performance (especially considering there's also lag between your mousclick and it being registered... and the normal internet lag)

It might look super smooth at 120 fps, but it's not gonna help your performance one bit.

[FasterThanFTL]

I can notice differences upto 300 fps. I must be super human or maybe an ultra-terrestrial being.

That's assuming that seeing things smoother doesn't help you with taking better decisions, which is a definitely very very false assumption.

Sure, some people can, because that's to do with brain input processing speed, which is massively parallelized. But what was being said was that it can't significantly change your reaction beyond a certain number of FPS. Neural impulse travel speed is order of 100m/s, so human hand reaction times are order of 1/100 of a second.

you can get used to it, i recently switched to a decent vid card and got dizzy experiencing high frame rates because I was so used to slow ones

where can I find that variable?

[FuriousFelicia]

I get 60 frames when starting the match and then it drops to 30 which makes some of my favorite settups really unfun to play.
I use to have stabile 60 FPS give or take a few frames but now...

Clean your graphics card and your PC from the inside, there may be dust clogging up the fans, slowing them down and causing the graphics card to overheat after a certain amount of time, thus resulting in a drop in performance.

Good advice. Even better advice would be to never look inside a computer that's older than about 2 weeks. It's revolting.
