Adult content, I thought? He must mean the above average intelligence and maturity of many of MATY's posters.
MATY contains adults, therefore, it is adult content, as children are not appropriate for MATY.

Anshin:
I used FRAPS to check the FPS and it was getting as high as 800 during the startup movie and sitting squarely at 575 during the startup loading screen.
Oddly regular gameplay was "only" around 75-85... Shutting the game down was at 675 during the black screen. >:(

I built this computer specifically for TS3, and have already replaced the video card once thinking it was faulty when it died within the first 30 days. Maybe it was the game.

Thank you for FPSlimiter. My game is now running merrily at 30 FPS.

All hail the mighty Pescado!

Papercut:
I usually don't get major heat issues as my case is completely open, but I noticed with TS3 that my fans would start grinding away at max speed periodically. 'Twas like a jet gearing up every 5 minutes, and frankly, annoying. I turned on FPS to find it was bouncing between about 70 and 120 in live mode, so chucked 3booter and FPS limiter on.

When paused, it hovers around 30. Scrolling and camera rotation is smooth. But when unpaused it tends to oscillate between 12 and the low-twenties, which makes for a  jerky, lagtastic experience. It looks like FPS limiter is working too well. Any ideas as to why this might be? I know very little about video card stuff.

Eh, and after installing, I still had a CTD and a freeze over 2 hours of gameplay. At least the fans are quieter though - my computer room no longer sounds like the inside of a factory.

I have never seen that happen in live mode, but if your computer cannot even reach 30 when looking at things, it is already operating at full power and fpslimiter won't help.

Papercut:
So, you're saying my card is too crap to bother with the limiter even though my FPS is 70+ without it? It normally runs much smoother unpaused - I generally only suffer from explainable lag on lots with too much decor or too many sims when not using the limiter.
