Slash Command

/maxfps number

Sets the maximum limit for frames per second that a player's client can utilize while in Windowed mode.

  • 0 = Default (60 FPS)
  • ### = Set desired (1-999)
  • /maxfps limits the FPS when the game is in focus or not.
  • This command only works if the game client is in Windowed mode/screen. To set the maximum FPS for Fullscreen mode, use the Refresh Rate slider in Options--> Graphics and Audio--> Graphics.
  • During most of its life, COH has had a default FPS limit of 60 FPS and this command was used to raise that limit. However, today the FPS limit has either been significantly increased or removed entirely.
  • Sometimes used by players when Multi Boxing to increase performance by setting the secondary account to 5 - 15 FPS. However, /MaxInactiveFps is generally the preferred command for multi-boxing.
  • This slash command lasts until the game client is restarted, unless it's used as a command line parameter.


Command Line Parameter

The command can be made more or less permanent by running it automatically at log-in as a Command Line Parameter. For example, -maxfps 100


TIP: By default, the maximum FPS on City of Heroes is capped at 60 FPS. If you'd like higher FPS, and your video card, display, and system can handle it, use /maxfps to raise the maximum FPS allowed. The biggest improvement in visual perception on displays is between 30-80 Hz, any higher and you start dealing with diminishing returns. A higher frame rate can help with smoothing out the game in minimally laggy areas, but will have no effect on hard (major) lag. You'll have to use /maxfps every time you login unless you use it as a command line parameter.


Example

/maxfps 80
