You can literally jump higher at 30fps.

This is so dumb, massive oversight by the developers. A few jumps I couldn't make at 60fps work 100% of the time at 30fps.

Which jumps in particular are you talking about? I'll go test them myself to see if these claims are true.

2:22 in this video, he jumps straight out of the water on to the grassy ledge. I tried multiple times at 60fps and couldn't do it, Spyro was slipping off. At 30 he jumps up every time.

If only I had known sooner, I hated falling into the water there, because I just couldn't get out easily (on unlimited FPS but capped to 60 through VSync).

Oh hey, I've just had this issue last night myself. Didn't think of changing the fps but I finished the level just fine by jumping onto the little island in the river.

Yeah you can still get out what I would say is the "intended" way, at either the island or the wooden lowered platform. But it's stupid you can only make the jump on the grassy side at 30fps.

Okay I just tried lowering fps to 30 and I can jump on the ledge, further testing with a higher fps and the chances of jumping onto the ledge get exponentially smaller.


This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Holy cow! I thought this was an oversight by the developers, or a way to force the player to jump unto the small island. Yeah that's definitely a bug. Fortunately Cheat Engine could easily fix this issue. You just need a way of finding the jump height variable.

I still cleared the level just fine.

[Draconifors]

Wow. I guess I'll be capping my game to 30 fps.

[JaredX7]

You can still make all of the jumps at 60.

I wouldn't. It looks much better at 60. Usually if I get stuck on a part I cap it to 30 to see if that makes a difference, for some stuff it's easier, but the game works fine at 60 for the most part.

I've tried and failed multiple times. The time it takes to make the jump is made much smaller since the frames are running so smooth at 60 that by the time you do try to make the jump onto the ledge it simply won't let you.

I think it's an issue with the collision not working at 60 frames. I don't know about this stuff but I assume the engine isn't detecting collision fast enough, so Spyro slips off the ledge before the game think's he is on top of it.

Yes. That. The collision simply won't detect it fast enough that I'm trying to jump up onto the ledge.

It's a 30fps intended game they tried to allow for more FPS. The funny thing here is if they didn't include more than 30fps, people would have cried. And since they did and it breaks everything, people complain anyway. Granted, 60fps should have been working but 30fps is where it's at.

In my case, I played the full game at smooth 30fps and found no issues at all with any levels.

Who'd have thought?
