Napoleonics

Valve recently added an FPS counter to Steam’s in-game overlay. You can enable this feature by clicking the Steam menu, selecting Settings, choosing the In-Game category, and picking a position for the In-Game FPS Counter.

Look at the corner of the screen you chose while playing a game and you’ll see the FPS counter. It always appears on top of the game itself, but it’s fairly small and unobtrusive.

You may be able to get this feature working for non-Steam games, too. Add one to your Steam library by clicking Games > Add a non-Steam game to my library. Launch the game through Steam and the overlay may work with it, depending on the game.

Could this be used in ntw3 to see who the big laggers are?at last?

recently the culprits could not be identified and therefore games were unplayable due to this
they for sure no its them but continue to join games which removes the fun for everyone else
they need to be politely asked to leave
i feel that strongly about these players and their very ungentlemanly behaviour

the other day i had internet as well as power issues and declined all offers to join games
it would not been right as well as very unfair when i know its highly likely i will drop

note
The counter is part of Steam's overlay, and thus won't show up in screenshots taken within Steam (default key F12).
For this Steam Overlay you need to be running the Beta client.

Done that thanks.
Also on interface section, there is enable hardware video decoding. Never seen that till now? is disabled.
Also downloads section, allow downloads during gameplay is unchecked ^^

Steam In-Home Streaming
To stream gaming content from your main gaming rig, to a lightweight, low-power and importantly cheap client system in your living room.
The intial setup is extremely simple and easy to do. Simply install Steam on both the Gaming rig and the Client machine, and log into them both on the same network.
Go to Settings > In-Home Streaming and tick Enable streaming
From this area, I recommend you defaulty select the Balanced option under Client options
Go into Advanced Host Options and tick Enable hardware encoding, this is what will kickstart the NVidia, QuickSync, or DXVA encoding on the Gaming rig.

Go into the Advanced Client Options set the Limit bandwith to Automatic (recommended). After all my testing with bandwidth settings, it seemed to be the best. DO NOT set it to unlimited, as for some obscure reason it just bloats the network connection and causes some major lag. If you have a solid Gigabit backbone running to each node on the network, feel free to try it out.
Set the Limit resolution to whatever your Client machine is hooked up to. In my case it was a 1080p TV.
Also tick Enable hardware decoding to kickstart the NVidia, QuickSync or DXVA decoding, again, as it's vastly quicker and superior in this instance to software.
Only untick Hardware encoding/decoding if using an exceptionally strong CPU on both Host and Client (i7, 8350)
For general monitoring and troubleshooting, tick the Display performance information box


Allow downloads during gameplay:
If you have this box unchecked, steam will NOT download updates while you are in game, you will notice any downloads pause as you start a game. Previously steam did this by default, this option allows you to opt in to downloads while you are playing games (if you feel your bandwidth is sufficient to handle both the requirements of the game and downloading).

Oh yea, I understand, computer things and stuff.
