  1. So BT is proposing that we allow changing the FPS cap mid run to make coverslides more consistent. This is because he consistently flies way too far with the Vault 111 cs regardless of what video settings he has. I would like to know if everyone is for or against this change.
  2.  
  3. Note: this stuff only matters if you're going for WR. You can still ignore the slide completely and get a decent time if you just want to have fun with the video game.
  4.  
  5. Potential Solutions
  6. ===================
  7.  
  8. Allow FPS to be changed mid run
  9. - FPS stays below 60 so run speed remains constant
  10. - Available to all runners
  11. - Should make the cs more consistent and more have more similar results across computers
  12. - This uses a 3rd party app to effect the game, which is implicitly banned
  13. - No one really likes doing this
  14. - Could be "abused" by hotkeying FPS and changing it all over the run
  15. - Makes the run less beginner friendly
  16. - Changing FPS many times in a short period can cause crashes and instability
  17.  
  18. Force FPS to be constant throughout the run (but can be sub 60)
  19. - eg keep FPS at 45 the entire run
  20. - Makes cs more consistent
  21. - Could make other things less consistent
  22. - Less fun to play
  23. - Shares issues with above solution, but feels a little less bad
  24.  
  25. Run CPU heavy apps in the backgound and don't tell anyone
  26. - eg benchmarking software, OBS local recording at very high quality
  27. - Incredibly stupid but technically not against the rules
  28. - Easy to hide
  29. - Can achieve the same effect as lowering FPS
  30. - Not viable in the future
  31.  
  32. Buy older hardware
  33. - Dumb, but would allow you to more consistently get the 111 cs
  34. - In the future when everyone's PC is too good to do this, would you expect everyone to buy older parts just to do this run?
  35.  
  36. Ban V111 cs
  37. - I don't think anyone would want to do this as it's dumb
  38.  
  39. Go digging in the inis for something that would make this work without needing to change it mid run
  40. - Less bad than using an external program to modify
  41. - No guarantee anything will work
