Hello,

AFAIK we were able to choose intervals in the settings. for some reason i can only choose between interval immediate and interval one.

any ideas?

Was hoping to lock the clients at 30 fps so my Crapovo Laptop wont explode

ok so i done some testing and apparently if i run the client in fullscreen i can choose all the intervals. Windowed and fixed window doesnt work and i need those to dualbox.

Is there a way to cap framerate when in windowed mode?

Ok so i found a workaround how to get the game running at 30 fps in windowed mode. might be handy for anyone

So i downloaded a video tool called Dxtory in which you can change various things for video recording.
The tool also detects all aplications running (in this case the eve clients) and allows to set a fixed framerate to the aplications they display with. unfortuneatly i cant set the framerates sepereatly for each client. The tool is not freeware and the trial version has some limitations. But if you just want to cap your framerate of the game the trial dont interfere with that so i guess i dont even have to buy that thing.

@CCP is it possible to add an option to cap framerates within the client in windowed mode? Would be handy for multiboxers and anyone who has less powerfull computers and still want to be able to multibox in windowed mode

Not sure if your desktop has Nvidia Control panel but if you do go there and change vertical sync. Not sure why the EVE client doesn't provide this support.
