The Roblox Application on Mac devices is stuttering/acting choppy at frame rates above 60 FPS

On a Mac device, the Roblox Application has recently begun stuttering on frame rates above 120 FPS. About an hour ago, I noticed a new Roblox update, and when joining a game, my player movement was smooth, but my camera movement stuttered. I noticed that when changing the framerate from 240 FPS (the default I was using) to 60 FPS, the problem vanishes, and when changing it to 120 FPS, the problem seems to occur later.

This problem also occurs with scrolling in CoreGUI elements, such as the Roblox Menu.

+1 on this, my mac has this issue as well. I can be playing the game with 60+ fps but the buttons and everything is laggy. Like I can click on a button or even the chat button and takes time to register.

Sadly, I have tried the 240FPS to 60FPS thing, but occurs for me on all FPS levels and currently is unplayable, and gets worse the more I play. After 5 minutes I can’t even alt tab back into the game.

+1 This is a weird problem which I’ve seen other people complain about.

Unsure why this happens at all.

Having the same issue and started for me today too, no matter the FPS; made a post on it:

It also delays even with the slightest touch on the trackpad, even without a single movement.

It fixes itself when you use a mouse.

+1 it’s seemingly tied to trackpad input, i connected an external mouse and camera movement was fine.

additionally, whenever i move my cursor/click something, it is followed by noticeably severe input delay that lasts a few seconds

+1 this also happens to me, it’s insanely delayed and is barely playable.

I’ve been having very similar issues, especially with the ones described here (despite it being marked as solved): Input Delay with Trackback & Keyboard - #4 by budzee161

No, it actually doesn’t happen anymore. Thank you so much!

Sorry for the late reply, just checked, and it no longer seems to happen. I’ll keep checking just in case it reappears in the future. Thanks!

Not for me anymore. Thank you.
