FPS not getting proper on steam overlay
As the title says; might most of them have encompassed an FPS display similar to the one in fraps and x-fire put into practice into the steam overlay? That might be greats, in view of the fact that they would not have to run f.ex x-fire in the background on top of steam. Need some help here.

Re: FPS not getting proper on steam overlay
I think it might be a handy thing to have encompassed, and for you two who position the source games way, everybody does not just presently play source games, there are additional games on steam which users might desire to observe their FPS on. The Fraps has an alternative to just presently overlay FPS onto your game, and you be able to toggle it on and off through a hotkey. Might most of them have an FPS display comparable to the one in fraps and x-fire implemented into the steam overlay" They desires one built in to steam, previously mentioned fraps. Bumping this for the reason that this is a enormous idea and I have no idea why it is not implemented yet.

I don't know what's additional ignorant, people posting source commands and presumptuous that is the entire that Steam has to present, or users pointing out FRAPs, which does the job, if the job were to go and download an additional 3rd party program for such a uncomplicated display. Implementing this into steam might rock, I would feel affection for to observe more characteristics with Steam.

You might have to pause the game to have right of entry it then your framerate might increase. Would not be accurate. Lot games have encompassed their own built in fps system and the odd ones with the intention of do not there is fraps. If the Steam overlay be able to execute snapshots when it's working, might not it be probable to just presently have a tiny overlay in the corner/edge of your selecting to facilitate displays the frame rate. I was going to submit this submission myself. This is an enormous idea. Numerous users do not approximating to utilize third-party applications for simple tasks similar to this.

In addition, FRAPS be able to impact performance. A number of games do comprise this option, other than it is a hassle to learn the commands for the entire of your games. Through Steam starting to comprise characteristics to replace third-party applications for tasks such as announcement (Steam Voice/Ventrilo), screenshots (Steam Screenshots/FRAPS), and almost immediately to come video recording similar to by means of FRAPS as well, an FPS counter is a logical step.

Re: FPS not getting proper on steam overlay
I unintentionally opened the Steam overlay (Shift+Tab) and unexpectedly the fps gone up to 700 and the game in the background ran just presently extremely well, without jittering or lagging. This is dangerously strange. To reproduce I closed the overlay, the fps dropped to 20 the entire in excess off again, and the game started to stutter. Reopened overlay - > game ran just presently very well in the background again. Subsequent to testing this I seem to be having the similar tribulations except I am receiving on average 15 fps through my rig and it is in addition affecting the cut scenes for me. As you said, although if I open up the steam overlay the game runs completely fine. At present if merely there was a method to play with the overlay open.

In addition, if I run it windowed, tab out, and observe the game in the background working with it's in addition approximately 100-300fps. Yet as almost immediately as I tab in the entire in excess off again fps drop down to 20. I had the similar predicament a number of time ago, in my case it was sufficient to disconnect a ps3 pad and the game works completely I imagine it might be a conflict connecting the Steam and non-standard controller.

Re: FPS not getting proper on steam overlay
However, I might be wrong I run ps3 pad through Motioninjoy xbox360 controller emulation. Every additional game runs extremely well through that. Just a note with the purpose of when you open the overlay, FRAPs is measuring the FPS of the overlay, not the game.
