background animation
« on: May 19, 2013, 12:00:39 AM »
Hello,

Is it possible to change the background lobby animation or use a static image?If the answer is no, is it possible to tweak the lobby and cap it to 30fps when i use v-sync off?Because as me and other players that dislike v-sync with the animation ON it is wasting gpu resources, meaning, higher power comsuption.

At this moment i use a registered Dxtory license to cap my fps to 24 when i'm in the lobby and 100 on the game, but whenever i start a game i have to go to the windows in order to change it to 100 and then back to 24 when the game ends.

Regards

Use MSI Afterburner to record. Offers a lot more functions regarding video capture and it's free.

Who said anything about recording?

I just want to cut the animation off to lower the power consumption when i'm at the lobby in the main channel chatting a bit, and if there's no way of doing that at least tweaking it internally to 24/30fps would be great.

If you use vsync off you would get around 200 if not more fps and that's a waste of gpu resources just for chatting at the main lobby.

Capping with software is one way of fixing it but if there's a way around that would be great.

Is there any file that i can delete to cut that background animation?

Regards

In the "Company of Heroes Relaunch\Eastern Front\movies" folder try adding an empty file called "FEMovie.lua"

Did not work.

This is the background animation:

I want it as a static image or locked automatically to 24fps.
