Guild Wars 2

I’ve been trying to add in a command line to cap my fps lower than 30 (preventing occasional overheating, I don’t mind capping at 25.) However, i’ve tried adding command lines in two different places:

1. Applications/Guild Wars 2 (open package contents)/Contents/Resources/CiderSettings.plist
- I currently have

<string>—cmdline “-umbra gpu -fps 25”</string>

Doesn’t seem to change anything, the umbra gpu line was there when I opened the file.

2. Library/Application Support/Guild Wars 2/config
- I currently have

[AppDefaults\\GW2.exe\\transgaming]
“CmdLineAdd” = “-fps 25”

at the bottom of the file, and it seems to cap the character selection screen fps at 25. However, after I log into a character, the fps is capped once again at 30, which is selected through the graphics settings in the game menu.

Are these the right places to be adding command lines for macs? Might not make too big of a difference by capping at 25 fps rather than 30, but i’d like to know how the process works anyway.

Also, would the command line -dx9single improve performance on macs?

that setting is usually recommended for wine linux users. The setting will probably help mac users too.

Thanks for the response, anyone know where to put the command lines though?
