Maybe good idea would be inplement to dgVoodoo custom range fps limiter?
Old games dont like high fps, some game require 30fps to dont crash.
I dont see any option in program which i could control frame rates.
Using external app to do that seems not good when game is control by dgv.
Would be great if fps limiter was integral and compatibility part of dgvoodoo

It would fix MechWarrior 3 and 4, and a lot of other games. which need 30 FPS maximum.

RTSS seems to work fine for me, in virtually every instance?

RTSS is not as easily shippable in an installer like dgVoodoo2 is. And I really like to have everything inside dgVoodoo2 instead. It means that I'm not forced to used any UI/tool to launch the game.
Plus RTSS does a lot of stuff that I don't need. dgVooodoo2 is as barebone as possible of a UI by comparison, and I really prefer that.

Good idea.
If you have a nvidia card, nvidia offer natively in these drivers a fps limiter since nearly 1-2 years.

Maybe it's very difficult to debug and support it because some old games doesn't like the fps limiters.

Ok, I added one. See v2.74 that I've just released.

You can define an FPS limit with option GeneralExt\FPSLimit.

Hi, sorry to be a grave digger but I found this thread whilst searching a way to limit FPS of a game run with dgVoodoo 2.

I am running Star Wars Rogue Squadron with dgVooodoo2 V. 2.86. The game runs very stable and the bigger resolution is great.
Unfortunately the ships are jittering around in the air and I found a message board where somebody said that this is due having higher FPS then the game was intended to run.

So, I am looking for a way to limit my FPS with dgVoodoo2 to 60 FPS. I cannot find the FPSLimiter as described in the thread.

Open dgVoodoo.conf in notepad, and search for FPSLimit, under [GeneralExt] section. It should be set to 0 which disables it, set it to 60.

Open dgVoodoo.conf in notepad, and search for FPSLimit, under [GeneralExt] section. It should be set to 0 which disables it, set it to 60.

It's available directly on the control panel, right click and select "show all section of the configuration", then you can find it under the GeneralExt tab.
