Which is pretty much what Lord Zedeck said to use in his one config guide. The FPS jumps around 30-40, and the music is slow with it. But changing settings didn't change anything (cept make it look like crap). I tried the internal resolutions at 1, and even 0 (eww), turned down framebuffer effects, turned off screen filtering and shader effects, and had -0- change in FPS or the slow down. Is that just how the game runs?
