How to improve FPS?

Post by Presentionus » Sat Jan 14, 2017 12:38 pm

I have at least 30 fps in the menu but when i enter a game the fps drops to 10. Does anyone know how to improve your FPS to 30 while you are playing an online match? [EDIT] It turns out that the settings menu did not change my game (EXAMPLE: My resolution is 1204x600 but it says the resolution is 800x600). Eventually i found out about the glitch and fixed it. Now i play on windowed with 30-60 FPS. :)

enable/disable fullscreen and/or v-sync (find what's the best on your PC), close every other software, disable far bg, go to the task manager and set SFD to high priority, and finally, upgarde your PC to something better than a toaster

Can you send your pc specs? After checking what you got, i can say whether you can improve fps or not.

Yeah, except you mean "figuratively". I also like making jokes instead of being helped with an issue I'm having, but trust me, when he's asking for specs he knows what he's talking about. If your specs are close to the minimum requirements or don't even pass them you can't expect much of your outdated hardware. Get a better PC; not being able to run SFD in 2017 is a joke for anyone looking to invest in gaming.

My game lags more in the menu than in a server, because of the background maps it shows. Here's what you can do (may have been said before):
-Lower resolution
-Turn off V-Sync (just locks FPS to the refresh rate of monitor)
-Turn off Far BG
-Turn effects to Low
-Turn off Weather
-Disabling background apps (Steam for example) NOTE: It works for SOME people
-Game Booster (really has no effect, but you can try it if you want)

That's all I can think of.

If you cannot run SFD with low resolution and every setting on low/off, I suggest reading the system requirements before deciding to download the game. Your PC clearly is not good enough to run the game (which really is quite sad).
