Please use framelimit on loadingscreens it's causing coil whine and temp. issues

Even if Vsync is enabled, loading screens are around 1000-2000 FPS. This is just a waste of resources, the CPU/VGA will warm up faster and make annoying coil noises.

Older Frostbite games had a command line option to limit specifically the loading screens, but it doesn't work with this game: gametime.maxloadingFPS=60.0 made Dragon Age Inquisition to run at 60 FPS instead of 200 when loaded a new level.

Please use a 60 FPS limit on loading screens or fix it to respect Vsync settings.

  • Please don't listen to him , he doesn't even know what he is asking for XD

    Seriously now , some people have a 144hz monitor and I have a 240hz monitor , we definitely wouldn't like a tight fps cap. Maybe a cap at 300fps would be fine as soon as faster monitors doesn't release....

    Or you just don't understand ?

    Why does it matter if they put a 60 FPS cap on the LOADING screen ? Not only doesn't affect gameplay, It's a static image. You can still play the game without the 60 FPS cap...

    OR as I said don't use FPS cap, but make it to respect vsync settings, so max framerate=monitor refresh rate.

  • 60 fps is a stutterfest even for the menu but as you said forcing vsync only in menu / loading senctions could be a fair solution for everyone.

    I have an AMD card, V-sync seems to work in-game and menus, but not on loading screens. Will try forcing it from the driver, but Framerate target set from the driver didn't work. However I can confirm that RTSS (Rivatuner Satistics Server) can apply an FPS cap that can limit loading screen as well just disable Origin In-Game Overlay otherwise it will crash the game.

  • Hi and thanks for the link, i'm sure it can help some people's

    but i have already do this tips by my own at the start (Vsync adaptive / triple buffering ON / Max pre rendered fram 1/ power mode MAX PERF)

    That have fix the little stuttering i was getting at the start of the MP match, but just reduce the coil whine at game launch and clearly not fixed the high GPU and CPU usage i am getting in SW BF2 (and the high temperature's i get due to that)

    Hope EA will look at this soon, i can run all the Frostbyte3 game's maxed out WITHOUT this kind of issues, and in this game, whatever the graphics setting's i put, the hardware usage is always the same.

    So yes, the game is smooth, but it eat too much hardware power for nothing, so FIX THIS PLEASE
