How do i limit FPS to 30 to prevent notebook overheating? UPS need to be 60 for multiplayer but FPS is good enough at 30.

Does that really affect update rate or merely the speed at which things happen in the game?

Nope, nothing to reduce framerate to half. It was there in older version, but it's not there now. Anyone know how to do it?

There's no way to do it now. If there is not enough time to keep UPS at 60, then the FPS will automatically drop, first to UPS/2, then to UPS/3.

There is a way to do it so.

If you use Nvidia GPU, then you should download Nvidia Inspector and set Frame Limiter to 30 FPS.
I do that in many games.

Ups is 'Updates per second' and it is how fast the game itself is running

Ah then a way to limit FPS or set a UPS to FPS ratio would be nice

Code: Select all

/c game.speed = 2

This will lock FPS/UPS to a 60/120 ratio. Then you add enough entities to slow the game down to 30/60.

Which of course doesn't solve OP's dilemma but rather makes matters even worse

I found a method that works.
there is a program called riva tuner.
This being my first post here means I can't post a url.
Do a google search for "riva tuner" the one with guru3d.com is legit.
You can use it to set an arbitrary framerate on any game and it works well with factorio.

applies to nvidia inspector too.

Yeah.
To the OP you can limit games to 30fps by:

NVIDIA:

1. set adaptive vsync to half-refresh rate, considering if you have a 60fps monitor it will lock to 30 fps

AMD:

1. download radeon pro, go to the tweaks menu, and from there you can set a 30hz refresh rate or a 30fps lock.

simple as that.
