@AVRC
Firstly thank you for your hard work! It's a great game.
===========
Long story short: increase the FPS
Back in the day in M&B, I am very sure the user input of M&B is impacted by the limitation of FPS. It's weird but it's true.
If you set the FPS to 60 HZ(or turn on the V-Sync), even though you have a very low ping(to me it was 20ish), you can still barely block because your character will not be responding to your input on time. Doable but hard for me(my nerve reflex was around 0.2 - 0.25 seconds 5 years ago).
Because the game receives the user input frame by frame.
Before the testing, I assumed that there is a "display frame" and a "logical frame" to separate display and user input, but I was wrong. The display frame was the logical frame(in M&B). They are the same.
Now we have Banner Lord.
I don't know if BL follows the same rule with M&B.
Recently I bought a new monitor has 165HZ limitation. Then I found that the FPS option in settings magically extended to 164HZ. And of course, I will choose the highest one. And then you know what? The game responses to my input again!!
After months of sticky feelings, it now feels like M&B character controlling again!
Recently Nvidia released a new update, seems it also improves the user input responding.
I don't know which helps. The new update or the new monitor. I did both on the same day.
===========
If it's relevant might be we can just let users choose the FPS what they want instead of limited options?
