For those that are currently running the PC version of this game, please be aware that if you are not playing at 60 FPS/variable (caps at 120 FPS) with V-Sync off you will be at a disadvantage in terms of clear time. It is not mandatory that runs be submitted with these settings, but this topic was created in mind to disclose information surrounding the FPS affecting the game or not. It's well known amongst the top runners that aspects of the game are affected by the FPS setting resulting in a faster time. Although we haven't discussed about separating PC by FPS (which I do not recommend at all), the consensus has been that variable is faster than 60 FPS. If you haven't adjusted to variable yet I encourage that you do it now especially if you want to compete for quicker times.

Aspects affected by 60 FPS/Variable:

• faster text cycles and menus
• stairskating speeds achievable only on these settings
• instances of AI behavior changing with enemies

At the moment, there isn't any data available for reference on the FPS settings. I'm unable to conduct the research myself since my PC specs are insufficient to maintain the desirable FPS needed to properly test this. Whenever I get a better opportunity to record, I will get on board with it. :D

If there's anything I'm missing in regards to what the FPS affects let me know in this thread! Thank you and happy running. OpieOP

Refer to the picture below for video setting adjustment. Adjust only V-Sync to Off and FPS to 60/Variable. Everything else is user preference and it may help to lower the quality for people on low-mid end machines like myself.

Thank you Roo for creating this topic! :D

So I added a variable to the PC Chris dooskip categories (Frame rate) and defaulted all the runs under that category to variable.

What do you guys think about it? Would you like us to do this to all PC categories?

After I finish up with my quick shot handgun analysis I can put some work into finding the speed differences between the difference fps modes. Hopefully this week. Family is in town so my time has been limited.

I can say this though. I originally started playing with v-sync on at 60 fps and when I swapped to v-sync off with variable fps my splits dropped immediately even when I routed poorly.
