Why is there a cap on FPS when players who go out and buy a new computer to have better fps and better connection and a better version of DP and still get dinged with the excrementy servers, ppl need to get ahold of making DP better and propor servers, DAMM

I think FPS capping is just plain stupid.
These poor female doges need to get out and make enough money to buy a new PC, or get a fast connection, or whatever.
You're gonna restrict me because stupid donkey over there can't afford to upgrade his 486...intercoursein please man.
Get a grip.

Another thing to push people away from DP.

All the people with new PCs, that love DP, will just move on down the road. The people with old PCs ain't goin nowhere. Where the intercourse they gonna go? They can't play anything out today. THEY are the ones that are stuck. Take off the FPS cap and they'll do what? Play solitair? Cause they sure ain't gonna play bf2 if they can barely handle DP.

Remove the FPS cap...DELETE THE intercourseIN CODE...and remove the low-ass default restriction shoved down our throats. New players will be stifled by that restriction and just leave.

MY TWO  CENTS ON THIS ISSUE BIITCHES.

There is no fps cap.  There's a packet rate cap (which translates to a framerate cap for old clients where the network code and rendering code haven't been decoupled).  Why rape the bandwidth sending 300+ packets/sec when the same thing can be achieved with 30?  THAT's stupid.

It's a necessary thing these days, and new games have it, too.  Doom3, for example, is hardcoded at 60Hz.

Also, of you're getting stuck at 60fps, disable vsync in your graphics card control panel.
