Lower Framerate Cap? - Binski - 10-06-2020
I saw this issue mentioned a few times recently...
I've noticed that whenever I try to get into a battle with a lot of snubs, sometimes the lag spikes terribly. At least thats how it registers. Guys are bouncing around all over the place. Its only at those times though, the rest of the time is fine for smaller slower interactions.
It looks to me that when some players are at 155 fps, its almost like time locally (at least virtually) is altered to favor those with the higher framerate. There has got to be a problem due to some people being at 155 fps and some at 60-75 fps.
Anyone else in favor of a 75 fps limit cap again? I wouldn't mind seeing if there's any difference.

I encounter these lag spikes even against the NPCs. The lags might be not related to FPS but to Freelancer's poor netcode that makes people lag when in clusters.

150 is ok.

I wish i could have more than 12-14 in pve/pvp

This isn't a problem with framerates and the cap is fine and doesn't need altering.

155 is ok.

I don't know if a high FPS rate causes lags, but it does give one an advantage in combat. Not sure why we are assuming most players have good hardware, if a considerable number of players play this game because their computer can't run anything newer. As someone who has cursor lag, I can't ever do decently in fighter PvP, so I fly caps - and then get stigmatised for being a cap player.

I'd be more in favour of 144. I've seen some slight jitter in edge cases with people playing at the exact cap. 144 is a nice refresh rate in this day and age and is more than high enough for smooth gameplay. The closer you get to 180 the iffier things get and I think the current limit is actually slightly too high still.
Of course this has little/nothing to do with the OP's claims. I haven't experienced any such issues. I've had lag-free fights with 20 people involved and laggy 5-man brawls.
And I'm sorry but this is a 2003 game and expecting people to play this game at half their monitor's refresh rate is just silly. I play 2020 games on 144 fps, why should a 2003 game be an exception?
