Knight Rider game - frame rate locked at 26fps max?

[MaestroUK]

Tried it with a clean install of xp pro sp2 (32bit) and v77.77 drivers and it still did it. Funnily enough it's the same frame rate as the menu screens too (which run in 3D mode). It will go down if I crank up the resolution etc but it never goes up beyond 26fps no matter how low I set it or however little is rendered on screen. It doesn't exhibit vsync related symptoms and there's no vsync option in the game and I force it off in the nvidia driver anyway. I also tried the 93.71 (latest for my card) drivers on a clean install too, same problem.

Has anyone played it at a higher frame rate, especially with an Nvidia card? Does it appear to have a max fps lock?

Hope someone can help. Thanks!

I just tried the KR2 demo and it does the same thing! 26fps maximum no matter what. Somebody on here must've played it and know if it does that on theirs. LOL

Well, it is a rather old game, could be a host of issues. What kind of video card do you have? Are you running in SLI? Multi-core CPU? I have no idea since I never owned it and I don't know when it was last patched. But I doubt it has been recently to support either.

The game has a frame rate limiter. A lot of games do. The human eye processes 24 FPS very smoothly, that's why movies are recorded at that frame rate.

Thanks for your reply! You've played it on a PC and it definately did the same on yours?

I find a big visual difference between 30fps or less compared to 60+, to my eyes at least. Admittedly it's more necessary for shooter games than driving though.
