Topic: fps stuck at 59

Hay there, just downloaded the new version and I recogniced that whatever I do, my fps stuck at 59.
I already tried the lowest settings but they keep the same.
Ping isn't he problem, I also tried it via lan server.
Opengl driver can't be the cause because in other opengl games (Warsow, Quake) I get stable 200 fps.
Already tried to set the processes (both, server and game) to highest, still  no change.

I already had this issue in another fps game and there was the problem, that I forgot to switch my notebook energy style from energy sparing mode to high mode. But in Teeworlds I have it at highest and still get only 59 fps (exactly and stable btw). I also opened up the other fps game were I had this problem but there I got my 200 fps.

I play on a 2,2 Ghz Intel Pentium DuoCore with 2024 mb Ram and a Geforce 8600 MGT with 256 mb.
I use Vista Business Sp1 with all updates and the newest drivers.

Is there a hidden value which limits the maximum fps?

Any help/ideas, anything?

Thanks for your further help wink

Strenght may win the fight, but style wins the crowd.

Re: fps stuck at 59

hmm i guess u turned vsync on... it only shows the fps which your monitor can show wink
so your monitor have 60Hz... the game maximize the fps to 60fps wink
if u want more which u cant see anyways turn vsync off... U have to turn it of into your grafic driver for teeworlds cuz in game it isnt working... ithink i read this somewhere xD

Re: fps stuck at 59

Sry, I forgot to say that I had Vsync turned off for sure. I also tried it with on but it stays the same.

I have a notebook, so it is an lcd screen which needs an refreshrate of zero. (Which I wrote in the config)
I already tried it with a refreshrate of 60, still no change.

But! You were right, I turned vsync off in my graphic card options and now I get my 200 fps big_smile
I think if setting vsync ingame doesn't work, the option should be removed completely out of the game.

Thanks for your fast help smile

It's a known bug that vsync isn't working in 0.5.0 like wanted, will be fixed in 0.5.1.
