Star Citizen Always at 30 FPS?

[Vivilacqua1]

Hey all, First time playing since the big updates, and I just noticed something. I was playing around a bit in the hangar and battle royal as well as the Vanduul Swarm, thinking that something was slightly off. Lo and behold, I open fraps to find I'm capped at the cinematic fps no matter the quality (Very high to low). OR maybe this happened because of Windows 10? I dunno. Any ideas? Super duper annoying.

 

Specs in sig.

 

Thanks for all your help.

Do you have anything that limits FPS running in the background, i.e in fraps, catalyst, or afterburner(if you run it).

Yah... But not set to 30 fps limit, not a console pleb  . I will check right now though (both those programs right now are running).

Check your driver's settings to see if the fps is capped.

its capped at 30 right now for some reason. open the console with the ~ key and type this:  r_Vysnc = 0

Look into your hands, are you typing on a keyboard and mouse or is it a controller?

Also, when you start your system does it say "Windows" or does it say "Xbox one?"

I think you may have bought a console by mistake, and now you're just in denial about it

this is a very common occurence, hundreds of distraught console plebs put themselves in denial every year because of their purchase

Yes yes, ps3 controller, but that's what I have.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way... this must be very difficult for you to process

I'll try that soon, just gotta clean up a bit.

Alright, NEW UPDATE- 

 

So, The vsync thing worked, and I was able to play at about 50 fps, but now I just did a match and my max fps is about 22. 

 

How nice.

 

I would have screenshots, but my fps counter didn't appear.

[rucdoc]

well the graphics engine isn't optimised yet, they are still building it.

[Vivilacqua1]

It ran fine before the update, and I can understand a decrease in performance after an update, but from 50 fps to 20? Adding eight more slots in a game does that? (main guess).

[rentaspoon]

Yes but they just added 16 players rather than 8, I haven't had my fps limited tho but fps is 45 with 8 players and 30 with 16.

Bored Gamer has done an updated user file for 1.1.6 so check his YouTube channel

if you get into a match with a lot of people that will happen

[rucdoc]

yeah with 16 people it's only something like 48 to 400ish million polygons on screen depending on level of details. It might cause a little slow down.

[Vivilacqua1]

When I was getting around 22 fps it was in a match with around nine people.

At what detail settings

[Vivilacqua1]

At what detail settings

High, a step down from what I was at before the 1.6 update.

[rentaspoon]

Drop it to low, its worth pointing out that the game got more CPU intensive as well

[Ktwo]

There's is currently a cpu bottleneck since the last patch due to the new sound system (WWise) that was implemented. (Even though WWise is supposed to use only 1 core, it seems to be bugged) if you have a GPU usage meeter you can notice as more players join the lower the GPU usage becomes. (Atleast for me and others on the Start Citizen Forums)

[Vivilacqua1]

alright, I'll check that when I get home!

they did a hot fix to fix that, the 16 players are killing it now
