+ | {{ii}} If you intend to play the game online, log into your War for Cybertron account before you activate the toggle at the main menu. | ||
+ | {{--}} Because of the game's dependence on the frame rate being 30 FPS for light blink timing and other mechanics, your vehicle hover mode's look sensitivity and any situations using this configuration like the Omega Missile Killstreak and spectator camera, will be significantly lower than the standard one. A way to reduce this effect is to [[Glossary:Frame rate (FPS)#Frame rate capping|cap the frame rate]] to a lower value (e.g. 60 FPS). Also, having a higher fps than 30 the LOD Biases will be messed up resulting in blobby un-rendered textures. If you see a lot of unloaded textures toggle the FPS unlocker off and wait for the textures to load, which should only take a second, then toggle back on. | ||
