Have any of you developers read this by Glenn Fiedler?

http://gafferongames.com/game-physics/f ... -timestep/

Just curious on your thoughts of possibly including this in a future build of Construct?

I noticed that the physics are tied to the frame rate... I can't run unlimited FPS or the physics are non-functional (basically). Possibly I am missing something, though (I am using TimeDelta where applicable).

Feel free to correct me if that's the case, otherwise, I think you'll find Gaffer's solution to be quite simple and very effective. It also takes into account time scaling (slow motion, fast forward replays, etc).

PS: The State stuff in the article snippets is a little confusing, but if you scroll down and download/run the source code example for the tutorial, it'll make more sense.

The physics was frame rate independent up until version 0.99.91, which is where we see the first introduction of this problem. So yeah, looks like this is a bug, so i will go retrieve my source forge account name and password and post this up on the bug tracker.
