what is fps_max suppoed to be for bs? ive been playing on uncapped which sets me at about 800 and its obnoxious with how hl handles entities, effects, objects ect.
soo... what is it?

Uncapped fps for Blue Shift.

Just start using multiple FPS binds and learn where in the run you have to lower it to make it less obnoxious to run.

To give you a few examples:

fps_max 250/ unlimited for most part of the games movement/combat sections,
fps_max 125 for the sewers/vents to not get stuck in the sloped walls,
fps_max 45 before pushing objects.
