How to limit Unity standalones to a fixed fps?

Scripting
1

Hola dragons and unicorns!

I want to create a offline demo (exe/mac) of our iPhone game “Pep the dragon”. The windows-standalone runs with something like 300fps, so is there a way to limit Unity/ Standalone itself to something fixed - a.e. 40 fps max?

muchas gracias,

pep el dragon

Dunno where I got it from, but that works.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Threading;

public class fpslimiter : MonoBehaviour {
   float oldTime = 0.0F;
   float theDeltaTime= 0.0F;
   float curTime= 0.0F;
   float timeTaken = 0.0F;
   public int frameRate = 120;
   
   // Use this for initialization
   void Start () {
   theDeltaTime = (1.0F /frameRate);
      oldTime = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;
   }
   
   
   // Update is called once per frame
   void LateUpdate () {
   curTime = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;
   timeTaken = (curTime - oldTime);
   if(timeTaken < theDeltaTime){
      Thread.Sleep((int)(1000*(theDeltaTime - timeTaken)));
   }
   
   
   oldTime = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;
   }
}

Use Application.targetFrameRate.

That’s outdated, from the days before targetFrameRate existed.

Hi Eric, have a question for you, doing that do I cause a fissure in performance in any way?
