Whilst 60fps is all well and good framerate drops
will be REALLY noticeable, as will the framerate
rising above 60fps.

A feature that locks the framerate to a set rate
would stop this being a problem. Say, for example,
I have a game that drops to 45fps in places and
rises to 65fps in other places, locking the framerate
at 45fps would be ideal for a smooth gaming
experience.

Hi,

The timer based system that Reloaded users should smooth all movement and actions. The problem with locking the FPS, is that while you may get 45fps, some systems might get 20fps, or 100fps.

Ah, good point. Wasn't thinking about PCs with
different specs lol.
