Issues fixed
High Frame Rates Breaking Physics
- High frame rates can cause the games physics to no work correctly making levels impossible to complete. This can be seen from the Intro 2 level and on with the security bots being unable to mount into their armor suits. A simple fix is to lock your frame rates to 60FPS or less, through some testing 144hz seems to work, but the game was really built around 60FPS or less.
