Re: Add frame rate counter to EA overlay

@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

  1. 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)
  2. For toggling the FPS counter on, enter the following commands and press enter:
    • PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
  3. For toggling the FPS counter off, enter the following commands and press enter:
    • PerfOverlay.DrawFps 0

FPS Graph

  1. Open the command console by pressing the ~ key.
  2. For toggling the FPS graph on, enter the following commands and press enter:
    • PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1
  3. For toggling the FPS graph off, enter the following commands and press enter:
    • PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 0

 Let us know how you get on!

    Thank you very much for taking the time to explain that. I had no idea at all that the frostbite engine could do that.  Your instructions are clear too. Much appreciatted.

    BTW: I am taking a break from DeadSpace remake due to another new game, but will be back to finish it.

    About the topic of frame rate counter, as said, you have been very helpful. I didn't expect such a reply. So my next sentence is most certainly not directed at you, a general comment to the whole EA team who code, update etc, the desktop app. I still think it should have a frame counter absolutely. Anyway your message keeps me quiet about that for a while, so I'm fine, but I really do think it should be added. I mean it adds a fair bit of funtionality to EA desktop app. I am sure many would be glad of such an option.

    Cheers!! 🙂
