cranking up FPS to 60

[agemartin]

Back in the day I would set the FPS of BG1 or BG2 to 60 using the BGConfig.exe settings interface. 
Is there a way to set the FPS when running in GemBR?
the setting in Baldur.ini does not work, CapFPS=60 in GemRB.cfg neither, at least not for me... 
not even when run in terminal pointing to the config file like this: `./gemrb.app/Contents/MacOS/gemrb -c GemRB.cfg`

greatful for any hints what to try,
on 30 FPS it is literally unplayable for me after having it played at 60 FPS for all those years...

CapFPS is about drawing FPS, what people typically associate with FPS. If you're note getting 60 by setting it to 60, you must be running this on a potato.

What BGConfig sets is the AI speed. If you want to change that, modify "Maximum frame rate" in baldur.ini (or gem-baldur.ini if it already exists), which is the same thing the GUI did.

Not the fastest machine in the world, but still, MBA M1 16GB RAM... 

I guess I am doing somethnig wrong, but what? 


I created a GemRB.cfg file like this: 

CapFPS=60

I run the app in Terminal from the folder with GemRB.cfg and gemrb.app: 

 ./gemrb.app/Contents/MacOS/gemrb -c GemRB.cfg

In the game folder, I have both baldur.ini and gem-balder.ini files: 
baldur.ini
 

Maximum Frame Rate=60

 

gem-baldur.ini

Maximum Frame Rate = 60

What version are you running? The CapFPS key was added in 0.9.2.

[agemartin]

It was 0.9.0
Not even sure how I made it to install that old version. now succesfully installed 0.9.3 for mac x86 here https://gemrb.org/Install 
now running under rosetta 2,  and it is fast as I like it, sometimes even above 60 

thanks a lot for the support

You can grab the macports version if our arm binary doesn't work for you.
