Frame rate problems

Postby Dizzy » Fri Sep 14, 2012 10:05 pm

I just bought FTL and I have huge frame rate issues. I updated my drivers and the problem remains the same.
I have a ATI Radeon HD 3600 videocard. I never had any problems with other games that look less demanding than this one.

Is my video card just outdated or is there something I can do?

Sincerely,

Try forcing on V-sync with your Catalyst Control Centre.

Forcing V-sync seems to solve some funny issues. My laptop was running quite hot until I forced it on, I think the frame rate was too high. Not sure if it will fix it for you.

Thank you. That worked. Has this any negative effects for my computers performance?

Can you guys tell me where to find the V Sync option on Catalyst Control Centre?

You can find it under "3D Application Settings" and it might be labelled "Vertical Refresh."
