  • I think those glitches work because some menu interactions slow the game down intentionally (for like half a second) and players have found ways of abusing the slowdown’s interaction with game physics. So I don’t think framerates are relevant to that, but I may be wrong about that.

    Doom Eternal had similar glitches where the weapon choice menu slows time down to let you make a selection, and you can abuse that slowdown by spamming the jump button to launch yourself really high. I believe speed runners bind the mouse wheel to jump so they can super launch themselves.













  • Yes, I tried with VLC as well. It works as intended there. Video pauses, and the PC suspends or shuts down normally.

    Firefox seems to be the only thing that prevents it, and only if there’s a video loaded. Doesn’t have to be the active window, and it doesn’t matter which display it’s on. If there’s a video playing or paused, it prevents suspend and shutdown.
