Q3 FPS How do you turn it on

[superjessica]

OK, it looks like I'm missing something obvious. So how does a nice, sweet, innocent girl like myself tell if she has KICK *** fps her new 1 ghz PIII (thanks daddy) on Q3?

Thanks in advance.

from the main menu (or anywhere else really) press the ~ key. That will bring down the console. At the console, type this:

timedemo 1 (enter)
demo demo001 (enter)

that will run through timedemo 1 and return you to the main screen. then hit ~ again and it should say your fps. You can also do demo002 instead of demo001.

If you want a constant fps reading while you're playing, bring down the console again with ~ and type:

cg_drawfps 1

Hope that helps

You hit the \ key first.

its:
\timedemo 1
\demo demo001
The demo runs
After the demo is done then hit the ` key again.

Hmm....I don't have to hit the \ key for the timedemo.......

but now that i think of it, you have to do it before the cg_drawfps.

just use cg_drawfps(as mentioned above) to see your fps at all times.

You could also set drawFPS to 1 in your q3config.cfg file.

Yeah but it's easier to just do it in the console. That way you can remove it if it bothers you or something.
