I find the advice here questionable.

-The two settings in steps 5 and 6 don't actually do anything and they are clearly marked as "not ready to use" in the dsfix config. These steps should just be removed.

-Unless a user has 120Hz monitors but keeps their desktop at 60Hz (why would anyone do that?), there is no reason to use fullscreen mode at all.

-Not all "high frame rate" monitors are 120Hz. For the sake of accuracy, the instructions should read, "Change FPSlimit 60 to the refresh rate of your monitor, for example FPSlimit 120".

-It should also be noted that the physics engine is reported to have issues at 60FPS- a reasonable assumption is that the issues would multiply with the increased FPS. I use 60FPS and I have only experienced one instance of falling through the floor in many hours of play, but there should still be a warning that this could happen.

I'm creating this discussion because I feel I should explain some of these corrections before just jumping in. I'll make the changes myself if there are no objections in a few days time.
