Unlocking FPS | Fixing Product Code

By PAXANDDOS

Yeah, WARP is not perfect on modern systems. You have a limit of 32 or less FPS or you just can't register the product key? Here's the solution in my experience.

Registering the Product Code

After starting the game, you are asked to log in into the Origin account and enter the product key. If everything went smoothly, then you are in luck. But there is a case when the game simply does not give you the opportunity to enter the product key. You may get stuck at the login screen or get some sort of error after sucessful login.

If this happened to you, then open your browser and go to your Origin game libriary[www.origin.com] then click the ADD A GAME button and then click the Redeem Product Code button.

Then just enter your key in the window that appears. After that, if you can see WARP in your game library then everything went just fine and you can get back to the game and once again login into your Origin account. The game should start normally.

Unlocking FPS - Laptops

First of all, I want to appeal to the laptop players. You should know that WARP is most likely to run on your integrated GPU, I mean seriously the game is starting on your Intel HD or AMD integrated GPU. It was the main problem for me because I thought that this game is running normally like every other game but no. I can only give solutions for users with NVIDIA discrete GPU but I bet AMD users have their own program for that and you know how to use it.

So let's get to it. You need to go to the «NVIDIA Contol panel» (screenshots are in Russian, sorry for that). Next, go to «Manage 3D settings» and click the «Program settings» tab. Find «WARP (warp.exe)» in the list and in the «Preferred graphics processor» field select «High-performance NVIDIA processor».

That's all, you're done! It only will give you more performance in-game but the FPS lock is still on, check the next section for the fix. Also, you can change your in-game graphics setting here as you like, I've set everything to high quality.

Unlocking FPS - from 32 to whatever you like

And finally we're here! No more prefaces, let's get straight to the point.
To unlock FPS you need to change the configuration file.

Go to C:\Users\{yourUser}\Documents\My Games\WARP\WarpGame\Config
Open «WarpEngine.ini»
Press CTRL+F and find «AllowD3D11» if your GPU supports DirectX11. Or find «AllowD3D10» if not.
Change its value to True, so you will get «AllowD3D11=True»
If you can't find these parameters then find «[SystemSettings]» and paste «AllowD3D11=True» somewhere in this list.
Find the «MaxSmoothedFrameRate» parameter (note that there are two similar parameters in this file). You will see that its value is set to 32. That's where the main problem is. Change it to whatever you like, I've set this parameter to 144 so I get 144FPS in-game.
Last, go to the «D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Warp\warpgame\Config» or wherever your game is. Open «DefaultEngine.ini» and duplicate all the previous steps. Oh and don't forget to turn the V-Sync ON!

Hope this helped!

Thanks for reading this guide!
I don't often write guides, but for this game, there are no complete guides on this issue. Seriously, everyone is telling the truth but their guides are just not complete. If you combine everything that I said, you will be playing this game with the most pleasure.

If you found any mistakes or something didn't work for you, leave a comment below, it will be my pleasure to help you!

Here's a screenshot, check the FPS counter at the top-left corner.

Any chance of an updated version that includes the Steam Deck? I've been able to get my EA copy of Warp running, but I'm not sure how to dive into the inner workings to release the frame cap? Come on EA, you came back to Steam, fix your games for the Deck!

PAXANDDOS I restarted the game numerous times and the bug kept happening. I fixed it tho, just had to go to the origin client instead. I had to re-download it, but it let me use local data from today for whatever which I think kept the frame-rate changes, as the game was running smoothly.

Also, I've just tested, started a new game and everything was ok

PAXANDDOS [author] 17 Apr, 2021 @ 11:59am

|－|ａｒｒｙ , nah, I think your problem is in something else. I know what Nebulosa was talking about, the visual bugs, I actually had some when using an echo, and no more bugs! You probably should start a new game and try again, maybe it was just some random in-game bug

I've been playing and this made my game run WAY smoother. However, I can't get past the tutorial. Whenever I get to the part where you have to run down the conveyor belt to get the first grub, it won't let me past the door. Yes, the ball is on the pressure plate and the door is open, but I just can't seem to even lay a foot on the conveyor belt. I see Nebulosa's comments about the frame rate unlocking causing bugs, so is it the cause of this bug? Or is this some other well-known and fixable bug? You seemed to get past this part, so is it just me, am I doomed to forever play at 32 fps?

Yep, I know that it is possible but it was a little buggy and glitching on my computer and this was why I didn't suggested that on my original guide. But now your guide is linked into my guide too.

PAXANDDOS [author] 13 Apr, 2021 @ 2:42pm

nebulosa85 , yeah, your guide was one of those! It helped me to find config directories but I could not believe there actually no way to unlock FPS as you said. And I kept searching. I'll add your guide as source and you could do the same way :3

It might be nicer if you add the original sources of "your experience"... https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2375989752
