Frame Rate Limit Options FPS Division Loop

Date & Time: 8/10/19 10pm AZ time
World name: Exodus
Frequency: Mostly consistent, the frame rate will improve for a few seconds before dropping again.
Location: Noticed and tested this at Azim Steppe but was getting fps drops regardless of location
Character name: Mikage Kurosawa
Party or solo: Solo
Steps:
1. Set the frame rate setting in system config to either 72fps (RR 1/2) or 32fps (RR 1/4)
2. click apply
3. (using 72fps setting for example) Frame rate of the game will go to 72 FPS then less than a second later to 30 then to 15 stopping around there staying at 14-15
4. if set to 32 FPS option it reaches around 7-8

I believe it might be continually quartering/halfing the framerate until it is unable to do so anymore.

The bug doesn't happen with Frame Rate mode set to 144 (RR 1/1) or Uncapped/None.
