R

RPS

Stands for "renders per second" and refers to the rate at which the frontend refreshes the positions of entities on the map. Not to be confused with FPS, or "frames per second", which is the rate at which simulation frames are forwarded to the frontend. The frontend can achieve a higher RPS than the provided FPS by performing intermediate position interpolation.
