{{ii}} The game was designed for 30 FPS, however between 30-60 there are no notable issues. Below 30, you see weird issues like being able to drive through or walk through collision. Above 60, you can see physics overreacting when going through potholes, throwing your car to the side. And on very high FPS, such as 500, when you jump the game can go to a blue screen with a loud high pitch noise. The only way to fix that is to restart the game.<ref>Commented by Donut Team developer [http://donutteam.com/forum/profile/1/ Jake Andreøli] via Discord</ref>
