FPS cap for the Editor?

Good find. That is exactly it.

HI,

sys_MaxFPS apparently doesn't do anything to cap the editor. I tried a few values 30, 60 and 144, it doesn't seems change anything. I'm using 1.11.1.0 and the console shows:

sys_maxfps=30
sys_MaxFPS=30 [ ]

The editor still pushing an empty level to highest FPS possible despite sys_maxfps had been changed. GPU runs 100% all the time, which is too noisy and hot.

Can you check with the team @REDACTEDUSER

That's odd! Thanks for keeping us posted on this :D. I've sent this note to the team for further action

Good afternoon, Ensure that you have vsync turned OFF in the editor, otherwise the "sys_maxFPS" won't work:

vsync on:

REMOVEDUPLOAD

REMOVEDUPLOAD

vsync off:

REMOVEDUPLOAD

Hope this helps,

Is there a way to set this by default? When my framerate goes above 200 fps, my mouse look becomes choppy and unusable in the editor. In game, framerate is capped at 60 fps and runs smooth as glass.

As stated here you can modify default values for these variables in system.cfg and user.cfg files.

I modified my C:\Amazon\Lumberyard\1.24.1.0\dev\Engine\Config\user.cfg like this and it worked:

--This file allows users to override the system defaults for cvars r_VSync=0 sys_MaxFPS=60

I think this is sort of global default values and can be overridden on per project basis.
