Add frame rate counter to EA overlay
Please EA, your new desktop app is fine IMO but there is one major and inexcusable oversight.
With game overlay, or other method, there is STILL no FRAME RATE counter! Even Origin had one.
This is a basic request, which plenty of player have asked about before - usually no responce,
and I haven't found a single thread or comment explaining why you seem incapable of something that
is taken for granted with any game client.
Now, I may have missed something in order to activate it. If so please let me know and apologies for
my rather harsh tone.
If indeed there is no frame rate counter, you know what to do. Frame rate counters are not just for
curiosity they are sometimes needed to achieve an overclock, to check your PC is playing any game
as expected, and more.
Please add it to the overlay or some other switch,. If you wish to be a popular game service like Steam
omitting and not even explain why it can't be added after many requests which you very well know about
reflects very poorly. I mean it's a basic function!
You have some great games, that's true. Prices are fair true, but missing this feature of frame rate
and generally ignoring posters who ask about this is shockinly bad customer service and explains
why so many people prefer Steam, and generally speak poorly of EA - yes that is true too,.
So please listen to us and add this, Inexcusable if not. Especially if there is no reason given.
Thank you in advance.

@GawgPorkChop, from your post history, I saw that you had been playing Dead Space.
Dead Space is a game based on the Frostbite engine, and these come with a built-in FPS counter. The below steps should hence work.
Frostbite engine steps:
FPS Counter- Open the command console by pressing the ~ key. (This key mapping might be tricky for some locale settings, try setting the keyboard in Windows to EN-US, if you can't get it to work with another locale)
- For toggling the FPS counter on, enter the following commands and press enter:
- PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
- For toggling the FPS counter off, enter the following commands and press enter:
- PerfOverlay.DrawFps 0
FPS Graph
- Open the command console by pressing the ~ key.
- For toggling the FPS graph on, enter the following commands and press enter:
- PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1
- For toggling the FPS graph off, enter the following commands and press enter:
- PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 0
Let us know how you get on!
