DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO - Frame Rate for PC ?
Hey guys, any fellow high frame rate PC snobs here, that are also wondering if there's gonna be an FPS limit for the game, just like Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot had? I'm really hoping there isn't one, high frame rate in games makes everything just so much better imo. If there's any confirmation anywhere whether it's capped or not, please let me know. I've also sent an email to bandai asking them, hopefully they can give a confirmation
- EDIT AFTER GAME RELEASE:
The game IS indeed capped at 60 FPS, but there's a way you can uncap it, MIGHT be bannable for online though, we do not know as of yet:
- Make sure you close the game first, then
C:\Users\(YOUR NAME HERE)\AppData\Local\SparkingZERO\Saved\Config\Windows
edit the Engine.ini, and paste this on the bottom
[/script/engine.engine]
FixedFrameRate=144
[SystemSettings]
bUseFixedFrameRate=True
bSmoothFrameRate=False
FixedFrameRate=144
FrameRateLimit=144.0
Also you can obviously replace the 144 with the number of FPS that you want to run your game at (assuming your PC can handle said frame rate)

- Second way and very likely allowed by Bandai, is to use Lossless Scaling on Steam (A cheap paid app).
The app can 2x/3x/4x your frames by using Interpolated Frames, the cons of that are some visual artifacts and increased latency. The app also uses a little bit of power from your GPU to interpolate those frames so that could decrease your BASE frame rate by a little bit.
- Edit after using this fix: ONLINE does NOT work. You lose connection as soon as you get in a game (after the characters' intro). The Lossless scaling is the only way to have a smoother experience in online, but it's not nearly as good as the native frame rate.
- Further potential fixes for stuttering/slow motion gameplay:
[/script/engine.engine]
FixedFrameRate=144
bAllowMultiThreadedShaderCompile=True
[SystemSettings]
niagara.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
bUseFixedFrameRate=True
bSmoothFrameRate=False
FixedFrameRate=144
FrameRateLimit=144.0
