Pre-V2.2074a, Geometry Dash ’s input polling was tied to the game’s internal 60Hz physics tick. If you owned a 240Hz or 360Hz monitor, you suffered from inconsistent jump registration. V2.2074a decoupled input polling from the physics thread. The result? . For top players, this reduced the margin of error in “frame-perfect” jumps by nearly 40%.
