Capped frame limit for no reason *sigh*

[arampl]

This is true for Windows 7 on my machine as well - 100 FPS

In my current project I have heavy loaded background process which is executed as coroutine. Coroutine resumed in love.update().
I'm not against drawing at 60 FPS, but I need updating as fast as possible (or at higher frame rate, 125 for example ). Sleeping prevents this.

I tried to lock FPS to 75. Should work if I can get only 100, right?
Nope, it's ~67.
It's a shame I don't have any restore point of windblowz and I won't reinstall system for this
IMO every game should be turn based

If you have a love.timer.sleep line (or if you're using the default love.run) then try to comment out that line (which might necessitate you to actually copy the function from the wiki first); if you are using vsync to do that locking, you will probably achieve 75FPS.
If not, again, love.timer.sleep is imprecise.

Edit: You do realize that even turn based games are animated, so fps matters there as well, right?

When I commented sleep() I got 100FPS. Sometimes it skips bit higher.
Checked older project where I had >400FPS and it's capped to 100FPS too. There is no intentional cap or v-sync.
It's hard to say what could make it work like that... I tried to compile program on windblowz so I installed a lot of .net's, sdk's and other "trash"... Maybe that has something to do with the problem.

I'm not keen on using v-sync and leaving this 100FPS cap isn't consistent :F
On Linux without cap I have <300FPS and it's perfect.
The cap method using sleep() is from love wiki and it worked for quite some time

Edit. Simple animation in turn based game can be v-synced 10 times to my refrigerator and transported back in vacuum cleaner - it'll be fine

Well you could hack your refrigerator and run LÖVE inside of it... it would probably pull more FPS than my PC hahaha

Try love.timer.setObey(true). Rumors has it that this always helps

[pacman]

I would reinstall windblowz but I don't have dvd-rom connected and my motherboard is too old for USB boot
That's what happens when there are no problems! Problems!

Check if this program works on your computer. It uses a "while" loop to delay the frame rate.

The "love.timer.sleep" function is cursed I tell ya.
