Hello I play ts 2021 on PC and I was wondering if there is a way to limit my FPS to 60? Because the game is running more that my monitor
I am not sure that there is in TS but try to go into Settings in the game and see if there is a option there.
Evan It can be done in a 2 or 3 of ways. Log into your steam account - right Click on Train Simulator - GENERAL - Launch Options -FPSlimit=xx (needs a dash in front as shown). If you have a nVidia Graphics card it can be set in there too via the nVidia Control Panel. You could also create a desktop shortcut to railworks.exe and railworks64.exe and use -FPSlimit=xx in the target window.
Basically same as Peter wrote, but a bit more detail . . . . In an other thread ( https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tile-loading-lag.33465/#post-231568 ) forum member Reef posted this: - - quote - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . . . . <snip> I suggest you limit the games fps output (I do this too btw) Option 1) If you launch via the Steam interface (an option I never recommend) Launch Steam Either left click on Train Simulator in the left hand side games list and then right click on "Manage" or right click on the cog that's hover labelled "Manage" over on the top right (ensuring that Train Simulator is the focused game on your Steam library by right clicking on the game from the left hand side games list first) Right click on "Properties" from the drop down menu that appears At the bottom of the "General" window that has now opened you will see "Launch Options" type in the following into that field exactly as shown here > -FPSLimit=30 Close the properties window ( [x] in the top right) and launch game as normal Option 2) If you use a desktop shortcut created from the RailWorks64.exe located in your RailWorks folder (my preferred way of launching TS) Right click on the desktop shortcut Left click "Properties" at the bottom of the list In the properties window there will be a field Next to "Target:" which should have the file location of the .exe it's related too, click on the target field text and scroll to the far right of the text right to the end after RailWorks64.exe" leave a space (hit spacebar once) and then enter -FPSLimit=30 click apply, close properties window and launch game by double clicking shortcut icon 30 fps is plenty enough for TS and offers an overall more stable and smooth experience, . . . .<snip> . . . - - end quote - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I am using that setting to keep max 30fps , works like a charm.
vsync limits the frame rate to that of your screen. If it's not working, then for some reason, windows has no idea what your screen is. What exactly is your frame rate, and what are the symptoms that make you want t limit it? Are you getting screen tearing? What GPU and monitor are you using? Also, what is your FPS as your screen will be at least 60Hz... so unless you are regularly going over 60fps, you are not exceeding your screen's refresh rate.
I’m on a laptop and I have a I think a 1680 graphics card and yeah I’m Getting screen tearing and when I go into my graphics card settings I turn on v sync and still get screen tearing I’ve even limited my graphics card to 60 FPS
Have you tried the other solutions in here? You can get tearing at less than 60fps as well as more than. It's unlikely you are getting more than 60fps with that set up unless you are running the game at a low resolution, or have very low game settings. Have you tried limiting it to 30fps with either of the two methods outlined above?
Have the other suggestions listed here been tried? Tearing can occur at frame rates below 60 frames per second as well as those above. More than 60 frames per second requires either a very low resolution or very low settings in the game, neither of which are likely in your setup geometry dash
