(144hz bug) Can't move while aiming/firing
I have my weapons at maximum Weapon Skill but I'm unable to move while aiming because of my framerate/refresh rate. Apparently the "moving while aiming" mechanic just stops working entirely if you exceed ~75FPS.

Enabling the frame limiter immediately corrects this issue, but obviously I don't want to play at 24FPS. Is there any kind of mod, script, workaround etc. that will allow me to move while aiming with a high FPS/refresh rate?

The AIMING breaks on certain guns after 45 fps (I think), there's a mod called mix sets and it has a frame limiter mode called "Auto" which makes the game run at your refresh rate during normal, when you go into water it goes into 30, cutscenes 30 and aiming 45, it's like GSync/FreeSync for the game :P

It's a deep-rooted issue with the engine. There is absolutely no fix for this. Running at high FPS results in many, many bugs such as this. It's 26 FPS or nothing, unfortunately.

silent patch may fix it.

The game was designed only to run at the frame limiter's limit. It's just the way it was done. It's not too bad.

They chose 25 fps, steam version has a broken frame delay, 26 fps on steam version.

Less FPS =/= Less smooth. The difference between 24 fps and 30 fps is negligeable. If you're not told that Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask for N64 was 24fps, would you think it was higher? Absolutely. It's smooth. Having more FPS, even if physics wasn't based on it, in San Andreas would really change anything. It'd look the same, only your camera movement would be smoother. Too smooth and you could start feeling sick.

In fact it's supposed to run at 30 - 25 and 26 are both a result of a bug. SilentPatch lifts this so the game locks at 30 properly.

In case anyone still looking, yes there is a mod that fix this issue: https://www.mixmods.com.br/2016/05/corrigir-andar-mirando-rifle-com-fps.html

It is hard to find through search engine. I know it from within mixsets mod .ini file. Works well.

Found a sort of fix. If you are holding down two movement keys (W, A) for example, and then aim, you are able to move

not if over 70 fps. If at 69 fps you can do that instantly, if you`re 70fps or more holding the two keys will have a minimum 2 second delay before you can move.
