High Fps Sliding and Jump Fix

Spyro High FPS Sliding and Jump Fix

Play Spyro Reignited Trilogy at high framerates and have it play exactly like it does at 30 FPS: same jumps, same stops, same charge, same camera, and wizards that keep working.

Disclaimer: AI-generated code

All of the code in this mod was written by AI (Claude Opus 5), under my direction. That includes the Lua mod itself and every tool used to investigate the bugs. My part was directing the work and testing everything in game.

The bugs were measured with frame-by-frame recordings of the game, and I tested the fixes in game at 30 and 144 FPS. Even so, please keep in mind that no human wrote this code by hand. Bug reports are welcome in the Posts or Bugs tab.

What it fixes

Spyro Reignited Trilogy was made for 30 FPS. At higher framerates the game quietly plays differently:

• []Sliding: above about 80 FPS, Spyro keeps sliding slowly after you let go of the stick.[/]

  []Jump height: jumps and the hover at the end of a glide don't go as high, so some ledges and glides are out of reach.[/]

  []Speeding up: Spyro picks up speed unevenly, quicker in some directions and slower in others.[/]

  []Charge turning: Spyro swings wider in charge turns.[/]

  []Mouse charge steering: the same mouse movement turns a charging Spyro much less.[/]

  []Camera during charges: the camera falls further behind Spyro when he turns.[/]

  []Charge dust: the dust cloud behind a charge is gone at 60 FPS and above.[/]

  []Wizards in Alpine Ridge: the wizards stop moving their stairs, doors and walkways after one spell.[/]

With this mod, all of these behave the same as at 30 FPS.

At 30 FPS this mod is pointless.

Before and after

Every number below was recorded in game with a frame-by-frame logger, at 30 FPS and at 144 FPS with and without the mod. The goal is for "144 FPS with the mod" to match "30 FPS".

Sliding

How long Spyro takes to stop after you let go of the stick:

• []30 FPS: under 0. 2 seconds[/]

  []144 FPS without the mod: seconds, or until something stops him[/]

  []144 FPS with the mod: 0. 1 to 0. 2 seconds[/]

Jump height

How high each jump peaks (game units):

• []Full jump: 30 FPS 84. 6 · without the mod 79. 7 · with the mod 84. 7[/]

  []Charge jump: 30 FPS 74. 5 · without the mod 68. 7 to 70. 4 · with the mod 74. 6[/]

  []Hover at the end of a glide: 30 FPS 48. 9 · without the mod 42. 5 · with the mod 49. 0[/]

Speeding up

• []Speed gained per second: 30 FPS 1000 · without the mod about 650 or 1300, depending on direction · with the mod 1000[/]

  []Charge from standing still to speed 400: 30 FPS 0. 40 s · with the mod 0. 40 s[/]

  []Top running and charging speeds were already the same at every framerate.[/]

Charge turning

In a full charge turn, how far the direction Spyro actually moves lags behind the way he faces:

• []30 FPS: 9. 4°[/]

  []144 FPS without the mod: 12. 1° to 12. 5°[/]

  []144 FPS with the mod: 9. 4° to 9. 5°[/]

Mouse charge steering

Turn speed when moving the mouse at the same slow, steady speed:

• []30 FPS: 181° per second[/]

  []144 FPS without the mod: about 42° per second (calculated from the recorded steering formula)[/]

  []144 FPS with the mod: 180° per second (60 FPS: 180°)[/]

Fast mouse flicks hit the game's turn limit (210° per second) either way.

Camera during charges

How far the camera trails behind Spyro in a full charge turn:

• []30 FPS: 33. 0°[/]

  []144 FPS without the mod: 36. 5°[/]

  []144 FPS with the mod: 33. 0°[/]

Charge dust

Dust bursts per second behind a ground charge:

[]30 FPS: 30[/]

[*]144 FPS without the mod: 0 (no dust at
