Fps Locked to 22 ...

[slash]

Hello,

 

i've decided to get back on Pillars, on Steam? Bought Pillars of Eternity - Hero Edition on MArch 2015

What a disappointment...

 

Rigs :

Windows 10

Intel Core I7 4930k (6 cores)

16Go RAM

GTX 1070

 

Even this monster which run ANY game on Ultra settings, i get *Drum Rolls*

 

22 Locked FPS (yes locked, any resolution, any game options, any compatibility mode, any power management)

 

My CG is used at 10%

 

Is it  a joke ?

 

Exe details : 12/07/2016 version : 1.3.2.1047

 

thanks to help me understand

That's definitely not right. I get overall 60 fps with vsync.

 

My rig is a year old now:

Windows 10 64 bits

Intel Core I7 5930K

32GB ram

GTX 980

 

I think there's low FPS fixes on the forum. It has nothing to do with your system I'm sure.

There is a FPS slider in the game video options, but PoE minimum frame rate cap is 30, not 22fps.

You can look at the register to check the game settings:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Obsidian Entertainment\Pillars of Eternity

MaxFrameRate_h2741477806

1e = 30 fps

ffffffff = uncapped

 

A cap of 22 is so low that suggests something else is interfering: a battery boost, a performance monitor with "optimizing" options, a energy saving profile.

 

How someone else with a similar issue fixed it:

Ok, i'm not sure what happens.

 

When i said locked, i swear that whatever i was doing the fps (msi afterburner, Nvidia Share) was displaying 22 fps no more no less

 

i tried another game, running fine... (farcry 4, bf4) @60+

 

Today i have an average 70 fps on Pillars...

 

I'm very curious on what happened.

 

I Don't lock the thread because i want to know why i can run Pillars @70 or @22, to eventually find some clue that may help others.
