60 FPS and 120+ FPS | causes crashes even at 60fps, the best way to fix all issues completely is by capping frames at 30fps then all issues will be fixed completely as 30fps doesn't cause issues at all Setting the target frame rate higher than 60fps breaks completely the game making the game totally unplayable. |

Issues above 30fps
- Running the game at higher than 30 FPS breaks the game; i.e. melee damage is buffed, and animations are cancelled. Also causes constant crashing if the frame rate is set higher than the default value
Set target framerate to 30fps Works |
