FPS drop when switching window mode

Plover · 11-04-2008, 05:36 AM

When I launch RO in windowed mode I get very good fps. If I then use the shortcut to go into fullscreen, my FPS quarters. The same happens if I minimize the RO window and then open it again.

Does anybody else have this issue?

When you minimize Regnum then it uses less cpu so you can chat or do whatever you want without blocking your computer. That behaviour may trick the FPS counter and then that's why you get the FPS spikes.

Regarding to the windowed mode, I noticed that too. I usually play in windowed mode so I can cycle through different apps, so it's not a big problem to me... But as fullscreen is the default setting on this game it may give the users a negative experience.
