yeah, i know the cap is 72... you can change it by typing "fps_max #" but why bother? why limit the fps... surely the more the better
however, I sort of solved my own problem about 2 minutes after posting, however, im still interested as to why you would want to cap it?
the limit is actually 300 by adjusting
btw, averaging 170fps at MAX and 1280x1024 on first water level... for those wondering
