Some physics break above 60 fps

[Yzentsa]

Hello,

This issue has been reported before in another thread (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/426077) but has been closed due to lack of response.

I'm here to report on the exact same issue as described.
Hair and clothes physics seem to behave differently when running the game above 60 fps. My game runs at 144 fps, the physics seem MUCH stiffer at this framerate than it does at 60.

Example:
My Viera (F) has Lyse's hairstyle, which wildly sways side to side at 60 fps, but barely moves at 144fps.

I've last updated my graphics driver today. This issue has persisted over years, with different hardware.
Below is my system information regarding graphics.

Thank you in advance.

This is a widely known thing, ever since before I've been playing (around 3.2). My hope is that physics above 60fps get remedied with the new graphics update, but I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah I figured, but all I can do is write a post about it here I suppose. Hoping the best for the new graphics update! Otherwise it's not the end of the world, I'll still have fun either way.
