Is FPS Unlocker allowed?

The rules say that you can't use any type of exploit, while FPS unlocker is allowed by Roblox I just wanted some clarification on that.

I don’t think that FPS Unlocker is allowed, because if it was allowed it would give a PC advantage in the Win - Private Server categories.

Honestly, It just gives a boost to fps, nothing that much.

Texas, USA

It would allow the eliminated teams screen to appear faster.

Philippines

or just do a Win - Private server (FPS unlocker), In my perspective, fps unlocker is allowed

Texas, USA

any games where the timing ends on a particular frame, fps unlocker should be banned. timing in Win - Private Server ends on the frame the teams are eliminated, so i think fps unlocker should be banned.

also i’m not sure why no ones done this yet but @toop

It's stupid to ban something that just boost your fps.

I asked toop about this a month ago and he said it is allowed. I even use it in some of my doomspire speedruns

this is allowed, yes. there arent any major physics changes plus i just time runs based off of the FPS of the video which i dont think can go past 60. i dont think a 0.008 second advantage will be big in speedrunning.

I think fps unlocker should be allowed, but contrary to popular belief it changes more than just truss physics. Most types of wall clipping for example wall hopping, laugh clipping, luck clipping (Probably an advantage over 60fps), and corner clipping is affected. Reason being you go deeper into objects the lower fps you have, it is even possible to walk through walls with 1 fps and is why lag clip works. Depending on what type of speedrun you are doing fps unlocker is a negative or positive

i honestly dont think it should be allowed in obby speedrunning have a look at this video the most notable advantage would be the double truss jump which could make it so that a truss that would take 5 seconds to climb with 60 fps would take 2 seconds to climb with 240 fps which is a huge advantage also fps unlocker makes long jumps free which can affect speedruns aswell. It should be allowed in speedruns for games such as arsenal just not obby speedrunning.

this is doomspire brickbattle sir

British Columbia, Canada

yeah this isnt jtoh

Speedrunning doomspire on mobile is pretty much irrelevant, fps unlockers are banned in most roblox speedrunning pages but some do allow of it or create seperate categories for them, fps unlockers are essentially undetectable without a really close look at the run and Youtube can only output 60fps. Unless you have an fps counter showing yourself go over 60fps significantly, it most likely will not be noticed. Easiest thing to do would to just not use an fps locker but if you absolutely have to, don't use an fps counter that shows you going over 60 frames if you think they will deny your run because of the unlocker.

(Also runs and mechanics of jtoh and doomspire are so different @cit they might as well not be used.)

@1. On doomspire fps unlocker only affects the win message to pop up by a few milliseconds and considering how rng the tower falling is, that will most definitely take up more time than an fps disadvantage. It's 99% more reliant on your performance and rng, not some few millisecond disadvantage. If this really became a problem there could be seperate categories

Japan

@Grump Yeah, milliseconds can make the difference between a wr and 2nd place, it would kind of make sense to make different categories or just ban fps unlockers.

Unrelaed Note: (You can't @ me because it'll just @1 not at me (@1.) also my link is kinda messed up because for some people speedrun.com/user/1 will bring them to 1 and not me (1.) its really confusing but ever since sub 4 letter names aren't obtainable anymore I decided to keep 1. because of its rarity.)

Hey, So I'm not really speedrunning Doomspire even though it is pretty fun,, I'm speedrunning ROBLOX: Rise Of Nations, anyone know about that? since I use FPS Unlockers a lot and I don't really wanna get rid of it, It's still kinda stupid.

i just realized this is a dead reply section πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

Hello everybody, I hope you are having a good day/night. I would like to say the game rules have been changed slightly, with a further agreement from , where map manipulation is allowed on glitched runs. Map manipulation is when the map has been altered t
