Reproduction Steps:
Have a low FPS device or use an FPS unlocker to simulate low FPS
Observe that character collisions are incredibly inconsistent
Expected Behavior:
Low FPS players should have normal collisions. If not, make it well-known that low FPS players will have these strange interactions.
Actual Behavior:
Low FPS players have abnormal collisions. Some can be used for exploiting, others are inconsistent - they can cause annoying reproduction confusion and may require major level design alterations to resolve them.
Partially phasing through parts
Low gravity used to show the collisions in slow motion
Players can sink through floors for several frames, often causing undesired deaths in obbies.
Legs can hit a death block that is anywhere from 0-5 studs below the safe ground!!!
Players can even spawn under/inside of a SpawnLocation as a result! (I don’t have a screenshot of this, but I have indeed witnessed it)
Workaround:
It is possible to circumvent these odd interactions by completely redesigning parts of a game, but doing so is somewhat ridiculous. Low FPS should not cause these strange collisions.
The point of mentioning using an FPS unlocker is to make reproduction easier. Not everyone has a phone that’ll average 5, 15, 20, etc. FPS.
Using an FPS unlocker to get an unfair advantage may be against the rules, I don’t know. I don’t use one to do this. Your point is completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
Well using an FPS unlocker causes a lot of complication’s, the renderer of the server only goes up to 60 FPS, thus increasing your walk speed slightly faster with higher FPS, making game’s seem like you are speed hacking, another thing is you experience a lot of weird issues like what @cloakedyoshi has stated about lower FPS, which has been like that since the early days of Roblox with lag, and collisioning. 3rd higher the FPS, the more mechanical failure’s your likely to have in a Roblox game with the renderer only being able to handle at 60 FPS, knowing what affects it could cause for any other game.
