FPS counter should be independant from HUD display

FistOfFury · Post by **FistOfFury** » Mon Nov 22, 2004 12:13 am

I can't see my FPS without having the HUD turned on, or am I doing something wrong? I want to see how much FPS increase I get with the HUD turned off, but I can't do that.

how does it compare when you run 2.6, which has no hud.

You can also turn individual items in the hud off IIRC, have you tried that?

I don't think there's options to turn off the three HUD meters (rubber/speed/brakes). I've looked everywhere in options menu, there's nothing. I'm using 2.7

System Setup -> Display Settings -> Preferences

then look @ my screen shot attached below

or do u not mean the options, but the actual meters?

No, I'm talking about macaroni and cheese

, of course I'm talking about the three default HUD meters at the bottom of the screen. You can't turn them off, so why say (ishAdmin) that you can turn stuff off? You would think that turning everything off and setting "FPS Display" to "On" would show me my FPS......but nooooooooooooooooo, everything gotta be complicated and I have to force the HUD display setting to on in order to see my FPS, which is gonna cost me some FPS loss because I want to see what my FPS is without the stinking HUD getting in the way.

ok, ok, i get it now. fps display will be independent in 0.2.8.0 then.

Moron, you don't know what you're talking about. The FPS is a HUD. Full stop. Turning off all the other stuff makes the HUD back to the original only FPS. Stop whinning, try looking at the code or helping in some way.

Nice people here, what side of the bed did you wake up today, on the floor with your head stuck up your ass? That's what it looks like. I am trying to help to improve the FPS display for people with slower computers, by pointing out some obvious things that should have been put in, but are not in, because I'm not a programmer so I don't know what's going on in the game code, and I get insulted, called a moron. Nice.

Turning on the HUD and turning everything except the fps off still makes my game show all the bars.. and when i turn of the HUD they disapear, maybe you're using a different version but there is no way to display only FPS.

try disabling every thing but the fps then completely exit the program and re-start and you should have fps only ! (oh boy yet another bug)
