How do I show my fps in the game?

Hit the ~ to bring down the console.

Type /cg_drawfps 1

This will display your frames per second (fps) on the top right of your screen.



1. How to adjust refresh rate for game play?
A common misconception is that people think the monitor display refresh rate while in full screen game play is the same as your desktop.

If your eyes get tired or you seem to get a little motion sick while playing the game, maybe it's caused from your monitor running at 60Hz.

WARNING - MAKE SURE YOUR MONITOR SUPPORTS HIGHER REFRESH RATES

Bring down the console window via the ~ key.

Type /r_displayrefresh 75 This will set your monitor refresh rate in the game to 75Hz.

Type /vid_restart and this will restart the graphics/video for the game.


2. I have a new video card and only get 60 FPS what do I do?





Make sure to set sync every frame to no.

You will find this setting in United Offensive. Under options - performance.

Most of the time you are capped at 60fps because of v-sync being turn on!







3. Unlock you Frame Rate

First locate your uoconfig_mp.cfg (Typically CrogramFiles-Call of Duty-uo-uoconfig_mp.cfg)



Make a Backup copy



Open it in wordpad



Find and change the following setting



seta com_maxfps "???"



Change the number in quotes to "0" (if you want to uncap your frames per second)

or
change it to "125" This is supposed to be the optimum setting for the Quake 3 Engine.


This stuff is mostly for those of you using newer gaming equipment and greatly improved my performance and hit accuracy.  Most important thing I think is unlocking your framerate and setting it to 125 because most computers can handle it.  The other thing I would definitely do is your refresh rates
