minus-squaredan1101@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up31arrow-down2·3 months agoI’ve never needed high frame rates. What is more important is consistent frame rate. I’d rather have a consistent 30 than a range of 40-60.
minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 months agoConsistency is nice for all games, but some just don’t play well at low frame rates. I struggled to get into Dark Souls, but after installing DSfix the effect was transformative and I was able to read the game a lot better.
minus-squaresqueakycat@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·edit-23 months agoSame here. I went through applying a 60 fps patch for dark souls 1 (cause I do prefer it) and once I hit a listed bug of getting flung off a ladder I unapplied that shit immediately. It’s not worth it.
minus-squareTheOakTree@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 months agoJust so people understand, there are bugs that simply make you die because 60fps and ladder don’t agree with each other. I just play it at 30 because of this.
