Slash Command

/maxfps number

Sets the maximum limit for frames per second that a player's client can utilize, whether the game is in focus or not.

  • 0 = Default (60 FPS)
  • ### = Set desired (1-999)
  • Sometimes used by players when Multi Boxing to increase performance by setting the secondary account to 5 - 15 FPS. However, /MaxInactiveFps is generally the preferred command for multi-boxing.
  • Typically used as a launch parameter.


TIP: By default, the maximum FPS on City of Heroes is capped at 60 FPS. If you'd like higher FPS, and your video card, display, and system can handle it, use /maxfps to raise the maximum FPS allowed. The biggest improvement in visual perception on displays is between 30-80 Hz, any higher and you start dealing with diminishing returns. A higher frame rate can help with smoothing out the game in minimally laggy areas, but will have no effect on hard (major) lag. You'll have to use /maxfps every time you login unless you use it as a command line parameter or add it to the Extra Launch Parameters as -maxfpsin the Homecoming Launcher.


Example

/maxfps 80
