    Frame Limiter??

    First off, I'd like to say that this game is AWESOME and it runs plenty smooth on my computer. However, it COOKS my gpu! I turned on the frame rate counter and I noticed I was rendering over 400 frames per second! Is there a way to limit the frame rate (V-Sync)? I mean, it only really needs to run around 60 max, right? Turning down/off different graphics enhancements only makes my computer render more frames per second and the temperature stays high (higher than in games like GTA IV, Just Cause 2 and Crysis!). Is there just like a config file we can edit or are there any plans to add a v-sync option into the game later on? I know there are some downsides to V-Sync but I would much rather deal with those little graphical glitches than constantly having to worry about my graphics card catching on fire...

I recommend enabling "wait for vertical refresh" from your graphics card control panel to limit the game frame rate to your monitor refresh rate (usually 60 fps). This way the game will still be perfectly smooth, but does not render more frames than your monitor can output. This way the GPU is utilized much less, and will cause much less heat. It's likely that this change alone will drop your GPU usage and heat so low that the game should run stable.
    You are able to force v-sync on at your graphic card control panel, turning it on should fix the problem.

    Thanks Mikko! Worked like a charm. Just a little ashamed that I didn't think of that on my own!

    In your defense, you did think of that.
