When I am working in the editor I prefer to keep my FPS at around 30. Above this and my graphics cards starts to spin up the fan.
I fire a console command each time to cap the FPS. “t.MaxFPS 30”
Is it possible to make a setting in the project settings to cap my FPS when I load?
It would be much appreciated.
I would suggest creating a Blutility as a work around to your request for the time being.

Here is an example of a Blutility in action

Hope this helps 
Ok, cool, I’ll take a look 
Thanks for the link benjamin. I didnt know what was Blutility.
can blutilities run console commands like t.MaxFPS 30 ? I tried it, didn’t work.
my comment was meant to point out a current limitation in the Blutility system, rather than trying to set the frame rate. blutilites cant cap the frame rate.
I tried using blutility for stat FPS, and r.ReflectionCapture and neither one are working. Is there any console commands that do work?
As of 4.24, ExecuteConsoleCommand in a Blutility works for both t.MaxFPS 999 and 0
Is this workaround still needed ? Or is there finally a proper setting for this in the editor ?
I wrote a plugin for this - I’ve wanted it for a while The setting shows up as an editor preference, so it’s persistent between projects/restarts/etc. GitHub - ScottKirvan/UE4-ScooterUtils: A UE4 plugin which contains miscellaneous utilities for Unr
Tried that in UE5 but doesn’t make a difference. Same for [SystemSettings] in BaseEngine.ini.
Enabling Smooth Frame Rate with cap of 62 also doesn’t do anything.
The only thing that works is to type t.MaxFPS 60 in the console, which is… annoying.
Thank you for this, this was the only thing that worked for me! Great plugin!
