+ | {{ii}} A few contextual 30 FPS animation caps in cutscene to gameplay transition cannot be removed with this method without crashing and they will appear as if they are heavily stuttering at higher rates; especially if output frame rate is not divisible by 30. | ||
+ | {{ii}} Heavily recommend using the in-game triple buffered v-sync for improved frame pacing due to the implementation of FPS caps, at the cost of slightly increased input latency for lower frame rate values. | ||
