FPS in Game
Hi Guys,
I'm new here, just played 2 times on the server and had a great time...am going to join more often. hope that you dont mind ;-)
does anyone happen to know how i can make the FPS in game permanent? I always have to go to console and type the comment. but i'd like to have it on every time i start the game. is there any config file that allows to activate it?

FRAPS!
Even without paying for it, the FPS will always work.

Re: FPS in Game
Fraps would do so, it puts a counter in any corner of the screen you want.

Re: FPS in Game
You can also use TeamSpeak Overlay beta
http://www.teamspeakoverlay.com/
It has an FPS counter and may be lighter on resources.

Re: FPS in Game
I've actually heard quite the opposite Dona. From the people I've talked to, it seems that the overlay isn't written to well and really make a hit on your FPS, whereas I notice absolutely no difference with FRAPs. Start recording, and thats a different story.

Re: FPS in Game
cheers lads, didnt know the program...i'm gonna give it a try...
i was wondering if it would have been possible just to add the renderer.drawfps 1 somewhere in a conf file...but if it works with fraps that's fine by me ;-)

Re: FPS in Game
Dunno, have wondered that myself for awhile but then I bought FRAPs for the hell of it and never really needed to worry since. I'd be interested to see if you could though, maybe in the target path there's a way to edit it in. If so, I'd love to make a soldier/shortcut to run with no HUD.

Re: FPS in Game
Another cool thing about FRAPS is that if you have a G15 keyboard, there is a FRAPS LCD plugin that shows a moving graph of your FPS so that you don't have to have it on your screen while you're playing.

Re: FPS in Game
i play with the keyboard under my desk on a sliding tray, so no G15 for me.
But FRAPS realted question.... I start FRAPS, and when i get into the game there is a FPS counter on my screen. Now i start a round and all is good, but after finishing the match and going to the next, whether loading it or just clicking for the second round on a map, the FPS counter disappears. Annoying since when i alt tab to fix it, my game crashes. Any ideas?
And Waffle has 666 posts. Just saying"Give a man a match and he'll be warm for a minute. Light the man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life"

Re: FPS in Game
Hmm, well, I believe there's a hotkey to display the counter. See if you've been hitting that accidentally. I've had issues with it changing corners upon starting a game randomly, but only once or twice has it just disappeared.

Re: FPS in Game
It's all right there on the FPS tab. What keys, what corner, what info, etc.
Heck, if you hit F12 (default) a bunch it will turn off, corner 1, turn off, corner 2, turn off, corener 3...
I use the G15 plugin if I wanna see FPS, so I have it disabled.

Re: FPS in Game
yea, you probably just hit the hotkey, if not, I've never experienced it just stop working.

Re: FPS in Game
Thx for the tip with FRAPS...
Its working alright...but i still didn't give up on the idea to use the ingame FPS display.
I went to my documents where there is the battlefield 2142 profile is stored.
My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles\0001
I modified the General.con and added a line at the very bottom calling the FPS procedure Renderer.DrawFPS 1 .
works straight without complaints :-)
