MORE AWESOME THAN ANYTHING

Mar 28, 2011 05:03

You know what the greatest thing ever made for TS3/Medieval is? The FPS limiter thingy by Pescado!!!!!!!!!! I just discovered it last week and i was able to play TS3 without smelling my graphics cards the whole time. I just played Medieval for like 30-40 minutes and the thing was 87 degrees and starting to stink up the room again. I was so damn ( Read more... )

Awesome! I didn't know about the fps limiter but might throw that in next time I play.

It IS awesome! I was ready to stop playing Medieval as a whole if the fps thingy didn't work with it. I am not throwing out 3 graphics cards, to play the silly Sims3 Simon Says game. Forcing the vsync on the Nvidia panel does not work for me at all and i was getting fps over 200. My fans were getting so loud, i couldn't hear my own thoughts :D

What does the FPS thing do? Also, how do you like the game? :)

And your layout! I don't know how long it's been changed, but it's really pretty. :)

Well, basically and in my own language, every game has a pre-set limit on how much fps it supports. For sims3 it's 30, i believe. And then MOST games, including sims2, have an option called vsnc, that tells your graphics card to not try harder than that limit (among other things). Sims3 and Medieval for some reason don't have vsync. EA knew that not having that in sims3 is causing problems and they still didn't put it in Medieval *grrrr*. Anyways... When your game doesn't have vsync, your graphics card tries and tries super hard to run your game in super high fps, which overheats your gpu and eventually kills it. So this thing is SUPER DUPER important ( ... )

Oh my gosh, that's kind of odd that they didn't put it in TS3, considering how much TS3 takes up anyways. But thanks for the info on it! I'll have to check if I ever install TS3 again.

And wow. I haven't even torrented yet, and I'm not sure it will. It gives pretty pictures, but a game where they direct you to everything sounds tedious.

Yeah, pretty pictures are about all you are gonna get from it :D Being directed for each tiny step you need to take is a game for 5-year old imo.

I'll have to look into that, thanks for the heads up-I seriously don't relish the thought of buying another graphic card!

You definitely should, the game has destroyed plenty of cards. Before i added 2 fans to my old PC, sims3 used to shut down my whole computer because of the crazy heat. Look at my reply to Jessi above, if you don't know what an fps limiter does and don't feel like Googling much.
