Game Speed Cap

4StarGeneral · General **Joined**: 14 Sep 2006 **Location**: Limbo

Is there any way to set one? Because going from 45 frames per second at GameSpeed=5 to 300 frames per second at GameSpeed=6, is way too much to handle, even for me #Tongue

Rules, RA2MD, even in the .exe?

The gamespeeds affect FPS cap in following fashion. These are hardcoded AFAIK.

GS6 - Not capped (as high as your system allows)
GS5 - 60
GS4 - 30
GS3 - 20
GS2 - 15
GS1 - 12
GS0 - 10

In multiplayer modes GS6 is also capped at 60 FPS, though. Just play the game on GS5 or GS4 if GS6 is too much.

Probably. I can't say for sure, though.

Damn, 60 is so slow, thanks anyway.

60 can't be slow
when 25-30 are considered normal

I know that TS considers "middle speed" which is 3 as normal
but I always switch to 4

The values are the same for TS/FS in single player and skirmish (I just verified it yesterday using -MPDEBUG). In network multiplayer they are slightly different:

GS6 - 60
GS5 - 45
GS4 - 30
GS3 - 20
GS2 - 15
GS1 - 12
GS0 - 10

Well it's possible RA2/YR uses this same set of caps for MP as well. I've never really tested GS5 cap in MP, so it is entirely possible that it's 45 instead of 60. Makes sense in a way, since two different game speeds with the same cap would be pretty odd.

Oh also on a related note, a small curiosity in case some people don't know it: If the game is running at constant 15 FPS, one game second (used for superweapon timers etc) equals one real second.
