Hey all. I've got a strange situation. Basically, I'm using SFML (I've asked on their forums too, but maybe someone has the answer here). Using: VCpp 2008 express on WinXP machine. Basically, I want to regulate the FPS to be 60. SFML does have something that seems to work, but the thing is it isn't working right. Basically, the game will run at 34fps UNTIL a lot of bullets are on screen (usually 50 or so) and then it goes at a pretty steady 63-65fps. It makes little sense why updating more would run faster. I have tried doing another method which turns off framerate regulator and instead depends on a timer object that waits until the time is >= 0.0166 (1/60th of a second) and then goes on, which has the FPS stay at 60, but then the CPU goes to 50%... which is very bad. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts or proposals to this. Thanks.

Hi, I don't know what this "profiler" is.

One thing: A build made with debug mode has the opposite problem when too much is going on (which makes sense...)

Regarding CPU: The app is windowed (for now; I'd like to have an option for windowed if people are into that) and the high CPU can be a problem when a LOT of stuff goes on naturally.

This below is the problematic code though.

while (bGo){	float Time = frameClock.GetElapsedTime();	if (Time >= 0.0166f)	{	bGo = false;			}}

However, adding a Sleep(1); to it seems to fix the CPU issues. I need to make the time itself be >= 0.01f instead to compensate though...
