Frame rate issue - how can I limit the gpu output ??

[Karuizawa]

Hi

I love this game, but on my new macbook pro the fans go crazy. Is there any option to limit the frame rate ? Other games have command lime fps_max and that works great for me, but I haven't found anything like that for this game. V-Sync is no option. Are there any workarounds or does anybody found a solution for this problem ?

Thank you
Jo

Why VSync is not an option? It does exactly what you need.

Because V-Sync is limiting the gpu to 60 fps - and thats still too high. I would like to go down to 20 fps.

I can't find the source, but a while ago one of the devs said that recent Paradox games use the GPU for non-graphical calculations that were previously done by the CPU. So I think your problem is not getting fixed if you restrict the the maximum amount of frames per second.

play at speed 3 =) speed 5 uses max performance. you might even be running at 20fps at higher speeds.

Dxtory can do what you ask.

There is no mac version of dxtory.
