30 fps LOCK

[Ish7superFast]

I preset to Ultra... This game lock to 30 fps but why ? any fix

Game is hard-coded to perform at 30fps.
The frame rate is directly connected to game logic speed, so mean if you want to cap it to 60 FPS, the game speed will double.

I'm still not understanding the argument of "I must have more than 30 FPS or the game's unplayable to me" the amount of entitlement anyone that use that argument is extremely high but here's the thing, 30 FPS isn't that bad ♥♥♥♥ its still considered playable by even people that use the argument mentioned in my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ opinion the only time the term "game's unplayable to me" should only be used if the FPS gets into the single digits where games that go that low actually deserve to be called unplayable if their that badly optimized.

People very quickly get used to good things

30 fps was the standard for c&c 3D rts.

[strike478]

Difference between 30 and 60 fps is big.
Actually given how humans eye works it is more significant jump of quality than going from 60 to 240 fps.
Sure C&C3RA is not very dynamic but its not turn based either so it is problem. No tragedy but problem.

You do realize that the more games like these push in terms of performance the faster the attacks of units tend to be, to give an example in modern systems if someone tried to run empire earth 1 many of the units will be attacking so fast to where the game's in a literal unplayable state.

Remember this came out in 2008, as far as RTS games go FPS isn't that important.

FPS shouldn't be that big of an issue in RTS games mostly because the game tends to be built for lack of a better term around its performance so the more its pushing the faster units attack, like with empire earth one as an example the faster the game pushes in terms of FPS the faster units attack.

This thread is quite old and i don't even have this game on Steam, but the sheer amount of stupidity and ignorance i'm reading here just makes a person want to respond, because ignoring idiocy such as this is a perfect way to let it propagate further. OP's concern is perfectly valid. How? Because he doesn't like watching a slideshow. Most people have eyes that work and aren't stuck in -30-FPS-Slideshow-Mode- like yours are. The reason these old games increase speed on FPS increase, is because the antiquated 90s engine they run on has the game speed interlocked with the FPS. There are RTS games today who run happily at 144 FPS or above and their running speed is normal. They were lazy in making RA3 instead of upgrading the engine to modern standards. This is EA and they didn't care, that's all. Don't spread your stupidity around if you don't know what you're saying. This is a clear case of "the dumb leading the blind" and people like you who keep spewing this "30 FPS is fine" trash are the reason these companies keep doing it, and everyone else suffers for it.

Turn on V-sync, game is meant to run on 30fps. Agree hate the limit but this is an old game.

cuz devs are gonna look at opinions on games from 2008 and think "yeah aiming for 30fps again is fine"

you cant unlock it , but you can unlock fps for c&c3 game , play c&C3 game with redhistory mod its better than red alert 3 game

[Zach]

You can now play Red Alert 3 in 60 FPS with no gamespeed issues, as well as extra zoom in/out! It also works with other SAGE Engine games like Tiberium Wars, C&C4, and even Battle for Middle-earth 1/2/3.

Downside: Currently you have to donate $14 on the creator's Ko-fi (or $8 on Patreon) to get permanent access to it. Down the road when it's in a "good reliable state" he said he'll release it for free to everyone.
There are however certain sites out there that provide paid Patreon content for free, though they aren't frequently updated. That's all I'll say on that matter if you need it right now.
