Issues fixed
Smoothed frame rate
- Many Unreal Engine 3 games use a built-in frame rate limiter with a default value of 62. Users with a strong PC may want to change or disable this limiter.
- High frame rates may affect in-game logic in certain games, leading to various glitches of varying severity. See each game's individual entry page for details.
