Battery Drain
-
Half bug half feature request - my laptop can run Civ6 longer than it can run screeps Can we get a client side frame limit added to the render options?
-
Could you please provide more details:
- your client, OS and GPU
- display settings
- a screenshot with renderer metrics

Its not so much an unexpected behavior as it seems to be a result of running at full 60 FPS when screeps wouldn't really require it all the time. Giving the gpu & cpu more idle time by (optionally) limiting to a lower fps would save a ton of power.
OSX (unknown GPU), Windows (GTX 1080), Windows (Some mobile chipset), Windows (GTX 1080), Windows (GeForce 780)
screen shot with metrics + settings , similar on all machines

I am also be very interested in a fps limit option. I would like to set it quite low for saving laptop battery life (the metrics say I am getting around 50 fps). The WebGL did not reduce the power needs of screeps as I hoped it would. It looks great though
The settings I should choose for optimal performance would also very much interest me. But that will only help with the fps limit option I suppose.
I am using the steam client with MacOS Sierra and a Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536 MB.
