Your weapon DPS is tied to your framerate

[Savage Sortilege]

I want to preface this by saying this was not discovered by me but apparently by user ShaseOfBase on the QC forums.

If you are having issues maintaining 144+ FPS, then it seems you are now (and may have been for some time in the past) dealing less damage per second than someone who is able to maintain a consistently higher framerate than you.

UPDATE 10/24/17:
They identified the issue and are working on a fix! Thanks for the update! Great news!

Throwing in the towel with the optimism.

This is a complete disaster

how the ♥♥♥♥ is dps linked with frame rate? wut sounds like BS to me

[DCR]

Old news, I thought everyone knew this. I wondered why people seem to think everything is fine. Thanks for bringing this to public attention.

This game is completely out of sync now. Warping rockets, teleporting players, etc.

[Octoba]

This is like a de sync of information yet the game is using massive amounts of upload speed ,what the ♥♥♥♥ is not wrong with this game =).

It seems devs don't know wtf they are doing... where is John Carmack?

[♥samantha♥]

So depressing to read the amount of bugs this game has, day after day after day.
Sack Adam Pyle the Lead Designer, and get rid of that useless Saber Engine, enough is enough.

[AgentOrange]

I think i'm done with Quake for good.

[Alfred]

confirmed!! devs are literally apes in human costume

[HAUSER]

I think now would be a very good time to get this game into the "overwhelmingly negative" section

[Octoba]

wheres that clown to defend this game ... yoo hoo mosley

[vic_viperman]

I have been keeping an eye on this game's development and all I have to say is wow this sucks. The game engine for this game seems to suck. And the devs do not seem to have a clue as to how to properly design a game like this? That's what it seems to me at least.

And now we have to suffer the consequences of this **** festival, which is this: now devs will blame the fact that QC failed on their misguided notion that no one wants an arena shooter anymore instead of understanding that NO, you devs just made a trash game.

Crybaby's much?
