@Devs! High FPS on Focus, Low FPS on loss of Focus
So I just got the program and was able to set everything up just fine. While running a game and streaming with Streamlabs OBS I am still able to run faceRig at a perfect 60 FPS... the problem I am having is that as soon as I select any other window (like the game Im playing) FaceRig seems to automatically force itself down to a super low 10-12 FPS for no reason. It also does this even when FaceRig is the only program running. As soon as FaceRig is no longer the main (focused) window it tanks.

I have not been able to find a setting for this nor have I been able to find any solutions online. I would like to upgrade to pro and continue streaming with this but I don't want to drop that money until I know that I can get this issue resolved.

Thank you for your time and assistance :)

Hello. There are some settings you can tweak in FaceRig so that the FPS won't drop. At least as much. Also, can you tell me what your specifications are?

Here they are:

1. use FaceRig at a lower resolution, you can go as low as 960x540. I assume you are using FaceRig as webcam view, so the view is already small.
2. use a lower setting in the game you are streaming, after all, you are basically streaming two games (resource wise)
3. use window capture instead of FaceRig Virtual Webcam and disable Broadcast. There is an option to hide the interface.
4. limit FaceRig's refresh rate to 24-30 fps. Go to General Options > Performance Tab.
5. Camera resolution needs to be low (General Options > Resolution).

Hey, thanks for getting back to me, I have already done all of this, I dont think that is the issue Im having. I get easy 60 fps when I have FaceRig selected (like I have clicked on the window itself or alt tabbed to the window) but as soon as I click anywhere else, the desktop, a game, whatever it drops to 10-12 fps. The program does this even when I have nothing else running at all. Simply clicking off of the FaceRig window sets it into a "background FPS" mode and I don't see any settings to adjust the limit on background FPS.

Here is my setup:
Processor: Intel Core i7-9700k 3.6 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 Founders Edition
16GB DDR4 Ram
1TB M.2 SSD
Corsair 750 Watt Power Supply
Webcam: Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920

Thank you again for your time and assistance so far! <3

Is there any sort of .ini file somewhere that I could edit that would adjust this background FPS? I would really like to use this for my stream but most of my games require that they be the focused window and not FaceRig.

Background FPS is related to the OS, so that means that it's up to how many resources offers you for that. There is not way of editing a file to set or adjust the background FPS.
