Sapphire Safari: I Seem to Be Locked to 5 Fps (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Try right clicking your desktop, and go into 'NVIDIA Control Panel.
The problem
Tried changing everything from system settings to ingame settings and fps limit. Reinstalling drivers and directx and other things. Demo worked fine on Linux but now both demo and full version are locked to 5 fps. I dont think this is a hardware issue because not depending on graphics settings its still locked to 5fps. pls help or release fix. Gpu - 3060RTX laptop gpu CPU - Intel core i5 11gen.
What players suggest
Still on windows 11? Do you have Nvidia graphics drivers? Try right clicking your desktop, and go into 'NVIDIA Control Panel.' Second one from the top, 'Manage 3D settings' (These will be on tabs to the left.) Under global settings, find, 'Max Frame Rate.' I do suggest setting this number to 60. 60 frames per second is fairly normal, bump it up higher if you wish. (increments of 30 will do…
didnt help :( I have the newest drivers (tried reinstalling them previously a few times) still am on windows 11 and tried changing the global fps setting, and the one for the game too, which i set to 60, but its still locked to ~5fps. Maybe I will just try some older drivers when I have time like the dev suggested Thanks for the suggestion tho!
Oh what was the fix? I just had an outdated version of the windows installer on my flash (maybe like 1-2 month old?) I thought itd be fine since its not that old but apparently lots of new updates came out, I doubt anyone else will have the same issue as me
Did this work for you?
