Nvidia Inspector - fps limiter does not work

[Sulo]

Hi!

 

I have to play Skyrim with disabled vsync, otherwise the game is unplayable for me. If I enable vsync, the game crahes every few minutes or even more often. If I disable it, I can literally play for hours, but the Havok engine is going bonkers. The game becomes unplayable in indoor areas, so I have to exit the game and switch the vsync mode. Annoying...

 

If I use the Nvidia Inspector, I can change everything there, the exe is being recognized as itself and I can turn the syncing on and off with no problems. Unfortunately this does not apply for the use of the built-in fps limiter. No matter what I do, I won't work. Either with the "common: frame rate limiter" function, or with "other: maximum allowed frames" or both - won't work. I did read the FAQ very carefully.

 

Maybe my VGA is too old (GTX260) - but that should be a software issue anyway? Well, ideas anyone?

 

Specs: WinXP, C2D6850,4GB 1333, GTX260, Driver 306.81 WHQL, Inspector. 1.9.6.8. - game running between 50-70 fps smooth. SKSE,USKP, 50+ mods.

 

Thank you!

I think Skyrim just doesn't like fps caps. If you cap at something around 30 fps in Skyrim, all your load times will become ultra long for many people, as an example. Edited December 7, 2012 by Rennn
