unlimited frame rate option has been removed from the client on 5.0

They had to change the unlimited setting because it allowed players and bots to move OOB in certain areas.

So like every thread where the whole community likes to get holier than thou and strawman until the thread is a mismatched garment, just gonna say "this." Because doubtful if anyone wants to read through the pages of arguing for the sake of arguing and trying to look smart.

People want solutions for bots, this is one of them. Not an absolute, but it is a measure.

This is not a solution for bots in the slightest. It has absolutely nothing to do with bots. The bots you see teleporting around are not using uncapped FPS and are instead using a map hack to get around and jump to wherever they need to go.

Look out now we got us an expert on botting in XIV.

Well, I mean....it's obvious.

High FPS on engines that are not designed for it can, and will, result in physics glitches.....but after seeing some of these bots in action, there is no way they are exploiting physics glitches of that nature.

In most physics engines, phasing through solid geometry is not smooth even if you can pull it off via a glitch. These bots are flying around like as if nothing is solid.

And those who jump and hang around under Limsa?

What about them?

[Gula]

What about them?

You seemed keen on elaborating, so please- elaborate. How does locking the framerate not affect them too. Seems to me like they jump jump jump until they fall through.
