declined Low FPS delays spawn

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

I have an idea in which if the game sees that your FPS is below 10, it will delay your spawn until your FPS recovers. I'm having a lot of issues playing the game where my FPS drops to 0 (i've seen my PING go above 999 which is also strange but that's not really the issue here) every time I respawn. I think a good idea would be for the spawn to be delayed until the FPS is good enough because low FPS just needlessly increases the amount of deaths. Also, I'm having an issue where my tank is self-destructing every time my FPS crashes when I respawn. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my computer or connection, but I think it's a good quality of life update to delay the spawn for low FPS players, just like how it already is for laggers.

Delaying the spawn based on frame rate is not a great idea for everyone. Just think about players that have very bad computers, who consistently play on 10 FPS...If their FPS dips down even one frame, then their spawn would be delayed, and if it takes a long period of time to recover, they will not spawn in, and their battle performance could significantly be hurt due to it. Also, since these players are used to playing on a low FPS, they could most likely manage a one (or even multiple) frame difference. Personally, if I had a computer that averaged a low frame rate, and my spawning became delayed due to an update like this, I would find myself annoyed time and time again.

But the thing is when your FPS drops below 5, you STILL aren't going to enjoy the game. Your screen is probably frozen from the camera moving due to your respawn while your tank materializes and is easy meat. I also don't mean delaying spawns for anyone who has low FPS. Delaying spawns are for people with sub-5 FPS. Players are probably more frustrated by dying despite being unable to see how they died or unable to control their tank. If you spawn when your FPS drops extremely low, there is no way you can possibly control your tank and you are likely to run into a wall or fall off the map.
