FPS drop fix

[Dia Rrhoea]

Use DirectInput FPS Fix, it works in:
- F.E.A.R. main game and its expansions
- Condemned: Criminal Origins

It works for basically any game using the JupiterEX Engine released in 2005.

I will try this out, thanks. Been getting fps drops for the first time in this game, and I'm just using Microsoft brand KB/Mouse, plus Sony PS headphones via USB. Never really had frame issues before, but that was on Win7 and earlier Win10 versions.

I don't have any logitech on my system and was getting fps issues. The patch fixed it.

Played for a while and no frame drops with the patch. What a great little fix this seems to have been.

Thanks for the post! Was wondering where's this been my whole life...

Now if only somebody would post solution on how to cap fps via the console variable/autoexec command - that would truly make my day.

P.S. (both vsync or nvidia inspector-like fps limiter are not very good, cuz first one adds input delay and second one creates sickeningly massive tearing all the time)

Enable VSYNC in game. Uninstall Geforce Experience.

Also, update your graphics drivers.

I don't use Geforce Experience and Vsync in-game still provides input delay. I'll settle with a console / autoexec command.

The game engine doesn’t allow console use mate.

“I don’t use Geforce Experience”, doesn’t mean that you don’t have it installed. Having it installed can cause issues.

As for the comments about input delay, turn off your mouse acceleration, you shouldn’t be experiencing any at all unless you’re playing on a TV without game mode turned on. Your comment also suggests you never tried using either option.

Also, it’s helpful to state your system specs.

That's the only thing you needed to post. Also, I'm not your mate

By "not using" i mean "not using and not having it installed".
Case closed.
