When I try and set my max fps to more than 120 in my simple game which my computer can easily handle, my game crashes? It gives some random DirectX error.
Any knowledge on the cause?
Hey -
What fps are you trying to set to? Also, what does the DirectX error say? Could you also provide your crash logs and dump files? This link explains where in your project folder to find the Log files: A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums
I have since tried repeatedly and have discovered it is an error that occurs only when you set max fps to higher than 144 and the fps actually goes that high.
I am guessing this is due to the fact that since there are no monitors with higher than 144 refresh rate, DirectX was designed around that, and cannot handle higher fps than that.
As further evidence of this, on my computer, where my game can easily go well over 144fps, it crashes once it reaches that point, whereas on my friends computer, when he sets max fps to higher than 144, it still works for him as his computer never actually goes higher than 144.
[PS. I have tried following that guide before but the files are not where it says they are]
