Only for Skyrim fans

FPS Limiter is a useful tool that helps you control how fast your games run on your computer. It allows you to set a maximum limit on the number of frames per second (FPS) that your game can display. This is helpful for making your gaming experience smooth and stable. This app is made for Skyrim fans and the game itself.

FPS Limiter is important for several reasons. It helps keep your game running smoothly by preventing the frame rate from going too high, which can cause lag and make the game less enjoyable. It also helps protect your computer’s hardware by reducing the workload on the CPU and GPU, which can extend their life. Additionally, by keeping the frame rate consistent, it helps avoid issues like screen tearing, which occurs when the frame rate doesn't match the refresh rate of your monitor.

Installation Steps:

  1. Extract the Files: Begin by extracting antilag.cfg and d3d9.dll into your game directory, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim.
  2. Adjust V-Sync Settings: To prevent screen tearing, enable v-sync in your GPU’s control panel. This is especially important for AMD card users, as their settings might differ from those of Nvidia.

Using FPS Limiter with ENBSeries:

  • Rename the DLL: Change the name of the D3D9.dll file from FPS Limiter to D3D9FL.dll and place it in your Skyrim folder.
  • Modify ENBSeries.ini: Edit the ENBSeries.ini file to recognize the new DLL. Update the ProxyLibrary setting to the path of D3D9FL.dll. Ensure that both EnableProxyLibrary and InitProxyFunctions are set to true.

Key Settings to Adjust:

  • RenderAheadLimit: Control how many frames are processed in advance to minimize input lag. The default setting is 0, indicating no pre-rendered frames.
  • FPSlimit: Set this to manage your game’s frame rate. It can be set anywhere from a complete disable (0) to the desired FPS cap (default is 30).

Considerations for Optimal Use:

  • FPS Limiter is highly versatile, compatible with various games and mods, but always check compatibility with specific game settings or additional mods.
  • For gamers using dual graphics setups, such as Optimus, specific configurations may not be supported.
