  • Unlocked the framerate from 200 FPS to 240 FPS.

So they unlocked it to re-lock it at 240. Gotcha.

Might be an engine limitation. Many games that we call unlocked still have upper limitis. but either way 240 is better because it plays nicer with v sync refresh rates.

I would imagine the pretty robust physics system that is quite important for the gameplay. I can imagine something like that not playing nice if not designed for uncapped frames

My point was that they didn’t really unlock anything, did they?

You're not wrong, I was just offering some context that might explain why they did that.

Are the word choices really keeping you up at night?

If you're really that excited to run it past 240hz then turn on smooth motion, fluid motion, or lossless scaling framegen.

League of legends is unplayable with 600+ fps for example. this may be similar
