Why 25/26 fps limit instead of 30 fps?

o.o O.o o.O O.O

25 FPS was the PS2 limit and 26 fps is caused by a frame-sync bug.

because 30 FPS starts to brake the physics
this game was developed for ps2 where the framelimit was 25 and the games physics are bound to the FPS, so the lmitir limits it to 25

Thx for answers o.o

It's 25 for the retail version (including the downgraded version), and 26 for the Steam version. Dunno why there's a 1 fps difference, but there is.

Supposedly, Rockstar set the game to delay frames from 30 fps to 25/26 fps due to differences with PAL/NTSC. I don't know why they would do this, though, since monitors and PCs aren't affected by these standards - only televisions and consoles.

Download Silent Patch to fix this and make it a proper 30 FPS lock.

What? No. The garbage new version lowered the cap to 26. You need to use a downgrader to get it back to 30 fps.

Nope. The retail version runs at 25 fps. SilentPatch removes the frame delay, which increases the capped frame rate to 30 fps.

25/26 fps on pc both are a bug - 30fps is a correct cap.

no 25 is the correct, the physics where developed on 25 FPS so thats the only correct one, everything thats higher or lower then 25FPS is a phisics break

Yeah, but:

60 - Nice :3
45 - Ow? :o
30 - Nooope :O
25 - ;,;

No. Everything higher than 30FPS breaks physics.

This thread is breaking me! O.o

You're wrong - III, VC, SA PS2 run at 30FPS. On PC, 25FPS cap is an issue. This is clearly evidenced by studying game's code, where a 'secondary frame limiter' has been added to PC versions but somebody made a mistake when implementing it and thus it works 'aside' a primary limiter, as opposed to limiting max FPS with frame limiter off (which was most likely the original intent).
