That's not how physics engines work, mate.
Eheran@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Well, how do they work?

They have a tick speed, which is how often they update the values for objects being simulated, if you're going too fast, you jump too far between ticks, and can skip collisions and such entirely, it ends up far too janky, and is why otherwise accurate games have top speeds.

The maximum speed is not what we are discussing here, it is the automatic deceleration, which has to be calculated each tick. The maximum speed is the same in both cases.
