120+ FPS | At high framerates, doors get stuck when opening them. For this reason, the Unofficial Patch introduces a 92 FPS cap. Can be removed with the fps_max command, but this will introduce the door glitch. The higher the framerate, the more likely it is that the player will get stuck on doors. |
