The Unity Editor is running at over 3,000 frames-per-second, preventing me from testing my game...how do I fix it?

Questions & Answers

Last night, the Unity editor suddenly started to run at 3,000 FPS. It was amusing at first, but it’s become problematic because I can’t test my game with everything moving at super-fast speed.

If I export my game to a tablet or phone, the FPS is normal, but within the Unity editor, the game is moving at ridiculous speeds.

This has happened before. Whenever this happened in the past, I was able to get it back to normal speed by simply closing and re-opening Unity. However, that isn’t working this time. I’ve even reset my PC, and I’m still getting super-speed in the Editor.

Can anyone tell me how to get Unity back to normal?

If anyone else has the same issue as the OP, I suggest you use Time.deltaTime to move your objects around. Your game shouldn’t run more quickly at a higher frame rate, it should just be smoother if you’ve done everything right.

Maybe un-install and re-install? have you also messed around with Time.timeScale? I know that could do it if it was not properly used?

I have the solution.

I went to Edit > Project Settings > Quality and noticed that “VSync Count” was set to “Don’t Sync”.

I changed “VSync Count” to “Every VBlank”. and now the game runs at the FPS that it was originally running at.
