Hello.
I am having a problem with a significant drop in FPS in the viewport when the Unrel Engine is set to inactive window.
Is there any solution to this problem? :worried:

Windows 10 x64(Power plan: Ultimate Performance)
Unreal Engine 4.27.2

It’s in the editor settings somewhere. Something like “background performance” if I remember correctly.

Hey @vs_studio!

You want to go to Edit → Editor Preferences → Performance → Use Less CPU when in Background and untick that box.
