Hey all, I was able to discover a Halo CE bug when fiddling with the graphics options. In Halo CE, the spread reverts to as if you’re holding the mouse down when rapidly tapping, if your FPS Limit is set to Unlimited.
I’ll show some footage below of comparisons with and without Unlimited FPS:
Normal/Expected Behaviour (With 60 FPS Limit):
v-- Rapidly tapping LMB --v
v-- Holding LMB --v
Bugged/Broken Behaviour (With Unlimited FPS Limit):
v-- Rapidly tapping LMB --v
v-- Holding LMB --v
Some other interesting notes is that it does occasionally become Bugged/Broken with Vsync on, even when FPS Limit is set to 60. For the spread to consistently work, the FPS Limit has to be set to 60, and Vsync must be disabled.
I was seeing some people confused about this on the Steam Forum, so I decided to investigate it myself. I was able to reproduce it, so I figure i’d put comparisons and repro steps here, where the devs are most likely to see it.
Edit: If you’re worried about gyazo links, it’s just a convenient screen recording software. You select a region of your screen and it records a 7 second clip. It was much easier to do this than to record a whole video about it. I can take screenshots with it, too! Wahoo.
