Description
There is some code in the GameState for the dedicated server (GSDedicated.cc) that controls the framerate.
That would also be very useful for the normal game mode. I suggest making configurable values for dedicated, GUI and server/client/standalone.
It is not only an enhancement but also a fix because on windows when having too much frames per second, the kernel calls raise to a very high level and thus slowing down the whole system considerably (especially in GUI mode).
Caution:
- Mind the timers that accumulate the time spent while ticking. It would not be very meaningful to add the waiting time to the tick time.
- Calling the sleep function on Windows will suspend the process for at least a few (10 in my measurements) milliseconds because it is scheduler based.

Is it possible to deactivate the limit?

fpsLimit_ = 1000000 and you'll never meet it

Implemented in orxonox::Game by Oli plus some Windows-adjustments by me. Use [GameConfiguration].fpsLimit_ config value to adjust the framerate.
