    Keeping FPS up permanently?

    There has to be a way.. but I don't know how.


    Right now, basically every time I boot up BF2 and join a server, first thing I do is ~renderer.drawfps 1 and that will bring up the FPS until I close out of BF2..

    But I close and open it alot and it's annoying.

    Is there a way I can make it so that in my settings or something I can have it set to be up there every time BF2 is open?

    I'd like to know as well, sadly since it's a console function it probably has to be entered every time.

      Dare I say it?

      A marcro. I tried to create one on my G15, failed miserably. Gave up after awhile.

      It is a pain typing it in every time.

      You could fire up FRAPS before every game, that would stay on and not shutdown between rounds.

      I find FRAPS and the in game frame counter to be almost identical in BF2.

        Yeah, get Fraps, it's very simple to use.

          You need to enter that in a specific folder of BF2, try Googling for it.

            Fraps does this as well...and its much better.

              Read the section regarding General.con file.

              Also don't forget to unbind all your aircraft's key binding, so that my fellows can sit back and watch your BF2C EF2000 crash into ground on this week's match! :drevil: j/k

              Seriously a question for you: are you flying with a joystick or keyboard/mouse? I'm still dreaming about taking down all J-10 on Wake Island map with keyboard/mouse.

              If you want to thank me, help train me to be capable of dealing with average J-10 stat padders.

                this method makes it a little shorter to type in:

                [open console]
                type: ren [hit tab]
                type: d [hit tab]
                type: f [hit tab]
                type: 1 [hit enter]

                basically the tab key fills in some of the wording. :p

                  That's what I do, but I think the general.con way should be decent.

                    I just type it in every time. I used to use fraps, but I found that it dropped my FPS as much as 5 frames while it was running. I try to have as little running as possible, since each patch has hit my performance some. I still can't live without my TS when I play with friends, though.

                      He uses a joystick. I used to use Keyboard/Mouse and I could take down J10's, but now I've started using my Joystick.

                        I have been using fraps as my ingame fps for 2 years now....whoever thinks the little yellow number hurts your fps....needs a better GPU

                          Try using ATI Tray Tools and enabling the OSD display.

                          Shows FPS, free video memory, GPU speed, etc...

                          But I guess that only works if you have an ATI card.

                              i use FRAPS, it gives you current fps and the ability to record a video and take screenshots.
