C & C Generals question?

[Keysplayr]

It seems the framerate won't go higher than 31 no matter how i have the settings. Is it capped? and is there a way around it?

Thanks

I highly doubt it

 

[Keysplayr]

LOL, you doubt that it's capped? Or that there is a way around it?

The game may have some sort of forced V-sync in the engine, its common in the genre (Warcraft 3 is hard capped @ 60fps)

The games fps are directly related to the game speed. set the game speed to 50 and the fps becomes 50.

From my experience it isn't capped, I can hit 60fps according to FRAPS.

Thanks guys, I have something to go on now. Will try the game speed setting tonight. :beer:

What video card are you running on? I have a Geforce 6800 GT and Generals runs almost always around 70 fps with detail set to max and at 1600x1200. It only slows down to 15 fps when i drop down a nuke.

But like piesang said, you could try setting the game speed...

 

[Keysplayr]

6800GT here. Yeah, I'll wager it's the game speed setting. I can't try it till about 6pm tonight.

Also, on some maps I've noticed that during instense firefight with lots of units moving around, the game very processor dependent. I have a AMD Athlon XP 3200+ at 2.2 Ghz. I noticed a more of a difference in the frame rate when I upgraded the processor that video card during those moments.

I know my CPU isn't the fastest in the world, but it sure as heck isn't slow. If I upgraded to a P4 3.2 800fsb I probably wouldn't notice much of a difference in this game. Maybe I should go AMD (ARRGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!) ok! ok! what was I thinking!. Just funnin. I do way to much video/audio encoding to give up mah P4.

its capped at 31 you are right

 

[The Green Bean]

the game is capped so that it moves max 30FPS per second. Ofcourse it can go higer but the game will only move 3-1 times per sec

 

[EvilComputer92]

Umm..

I'm not sure about that, I can tell when it's running at 30 fps and 60 fps.
Make sure you don't have any extra options on. I know in Halo that there is an option
that caps the game at 30 fps...
