In light of the recent firestorm of new Kiwami 2 records, we've decided to enforce a 60FPS cap rule on the leaderboard. Having spoken to active K2 runners about it, the mood in the room seems to be that it makes the game less competitive and more full of unfun nonsense (scrollwheel for mashing). Speedrunning purity wank aside, the point of playing games is to have fun, and the point of a leaderboard is to foster competition. allowing high frame rate seems to narrow the field for who can compete while also not making the game any more enjoyable.

Going forward all PC runs must be done at 60FPS. To ensure this is met fairly all runs submitted from today MUST include an FPS counter. The preferred FPS counters are either Steams built in FPS counter or RivaTuner. Your FPS counter MUST be shown on screen at all times. Failure to do so or going over the 60FPS cap will result in an instant rejection of your run.

K2's ingame framecap is still notoriously broken therefore capping your GPU for the game properly at 60FPS is still allowed (For those who do not know the ingame FPS cap does not work properly for the majority of players. If you set your ingame FPS cap to 60 it will instead cap it at 40 instead.)

Console runs are unaffected by this rule change.
