Topic on Talk:Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition
As far as I know too, steps 5 & 6 does nothing. But 120Hz is regarded as HFR here among other places. Thus why it's 120fps on every page.
Problems with the physics-engine at 96Hz has the same effect as an unlock at 60fps; barely noticeable unless you're actively looking for them. Dropping down a ladder once and clipping through the world can happen once, but not again after coming back after respawning. I don't think the higher frame-rate you have the more problems you get.
