Redownload 3Booter and FPS Limiter.  Watch the command prompt to be sure FPS Limiter is running the right program.  It works.

What I found is that using the old 3Booter and the FPS limiter in the generations folder to launch through the TS3EP04.exe won't trigger the FPS limiter, although the game will launch and run fine.  When launching with the new version of 3Booter from the base game folder where is launches through the TS3W.exe then the FPS limiter kicks in and works just fine.

When people say the FPS limiter isn't working, might need to check from where they are trying to launch the game.

Where exactly should the files be put when we're talking of Medieval?
I've tried both old and new ts3 locations, yet the card is still overheating.

Probably needed to put more info.
I am well aware of how this particular set of files works, being that I've went through activating them several times on different machines.
I am also aware how the mistake being made is my own, and went through this whole thread a couple of times already.
Anyway, when it comes to The Sims Medieval, no matter where the files are located, the graphics card is overheating (rendering at about 120 frames at average).
Could it be something other in question? Other than the wrong installation location?

As medieval is a stand alone game, it is possible that the fps limiter here will not work with it.  Have you seen anywhere that says the fps limiter will work with medieval, or other people posting to say it is working with medieval?  if so, then you are doing something wrong and should start again.

Thank you for your reply, wizard_merlin.
After some searching, Google results have directed me to this thread.
Now Medieval-enabled.
The replies consist of complaints, however, none of them is exclusively talking of the limiter's primary task. In fact, it has been said that, when it comes to cutting down the fps, it's doing the job.
I shall redo everything, as suggested, just after i finish a couple of quests.

It works - you just need to remember to either run it or use both files.

Good chance I'm pointlessly kicking the topic again, but, I have noticed that f10-ing ingame does not turn the greenery on.
Command "fps on" brings out the regular white numbers, which can be lowered down by pressing f11. This, however does not affect the card's ridiculous temperature.
After giving up on the stripped version, I've reverted to the old-school FPS Limiter. Not so surprisingly, nothing happened.
To add, the overheating is solely caused by this particular game (it even cools down when the window is minimized).
If it's not the rendering speed, I don't know what is. To be honest, there's not much else to cause such malfunction.

If F10 doesn't turn the green FPS numbers on or off while the game is loading or a save is loading, then you are doing something wrong.  It does work just fine with Medieval, so long as you have both files from this thread in the right folder.  It shouldn't be that hard to figure out where they need to be to run The Sims Medieval.  If it is, perhaps a charred video card is for the best.

Just a guess here but maybe your fail at framework installation is preventing the FPS from working. Or it could have nothing to do with it.

It's not a framework issue.  I know it will work on Windows 7.  No clue why running 3Booter from that location wouldn't work.  You are running 3Booter?

Indeed it's not a framework issue.
Doubleclicking 3Booter to run the game, yes.
I'm currently running some other games to check the previous assumption that the game itself is the issue. Unfortunately I'm forced to admit I'm running on Vista.
Haven't tested it on w7, because I'm still on a boycott against it (and there's no way i could infest my precious kubuntu with games), so it just may be an issue, even though i don't see why/how.
Thank you for replying.

No, what I'm trying to say is your framework IS IN THE WRONG PLACE, maybe this is affecting fps for some reason. Try putting your mod framework where it belongs and see what happens.

Does the command window that pops up say its running from tsm.exe?

I haven't seen it mentioned yet but the use of the TS3W.exe (w3booter) is necessary after the recent patches even for those without the Generations EP.

Keep up with the times, the current discussion is about the FPS limiter running in Medieval, NOT TS3, so unless medieval also has a TS3W.exe, STFU.

I'm running on Vista.

Why would you boycott Windoze 7 for Vista?  7 is so much better than Vista, but it does have it's issues, which are not that problematic.  At least I haven't found them that problematic, but others have.  As kissing toast has mentioned, what information is being thrown up when 3Booter fires up?  What frame rates are you getting?

Edit, because I'm an idiot: fps shown in game is about 30-something, after forced down by f11.
Card temperature stays the same.

Because Microsoft is the source of all evil? Besides, i still remember the moment Vista had bedazzled me with it's fabulous gui. I am aware I'll have to convert to w7 in the end/near future, but allow me to live of the memory for just a little longer.
As for the issues, I'm sure there's nothing strong will can't handle.

Who said you had to give money to Microsoft?  Windoze 7 is far better than Vista, and you are doing yourself a great disservice by holding on to that piece of crap.

Who said I'm giving money to Microsoft? Yes, I'm aware of your point, but, there's a masochist in all of us and some are just unable to resist it's influence.

Back on topic, I haven't yet found a solution to the card overheating and will continue using the household fan for the time being.
If, however, I manage to resolve this problem, I will come back and edit this post.

Kicked up the fan speed to 85% and the problem was killed.
Now it even cools my feet at these warm summer nights, ahhh.

Framework cannot affect 3booter at all, the two issues are unrelated. However, 30 FPS is normal and therefore everything is working correctly.

Hi there,

I hadn't played Medieval for a while and want to go back to it.  After I just double-clic on the Booter-Link to launch the game I got an error message saying (french translation) :
Quote
Impossible to active a requested security "thing".
This program can't be executed (13001)
With an option to analyse the problem.

So I try to figure what was wrong and after the analyse this EA-thing just ask me to send the report to SECUROM !!! WTF  Shocked


If I try to launch the game WITHOUT the Booter but via the .exe, it's working.
Why ?  I don't want to burn my GC  Cry


Thanks guys ^^

I'm having the same problem as Ange with TSM. Any help would be appreciated.

Also I was experimenting on how much FPS CAW and CAP are using and found that CAW uses around 600+ FPS and CAP is around 450+ FPS.

I tried using the FPS Limiter on CAW and it maintained at 30-31 FPS but when I tried using the Edit in game function TS3 ran at 1100+ FPS.

Just wondering if anybody has a solution for these? Or does anyone know any memory resident FPS limiter that would automatically activate? Thanks in advance.
