Question

Extensions are locked to <60fps on MacOS

On Macs, extensions are locked to <60fps, which makes performance feel much worse than on PC.

This makes any extension feel substantially worse on MacOS than on PC, especially today with higher refresh rate screens, the host app runs at 120hz while extension panels render at less than 60 (feels like 30).

I have posted more info about the issue on GitHub:
https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/issues/467

Please take a look at this, it makes the mac experience with 3rd party plugins much worse, and hurts us as developers for the platform.

Update:
Adding these paremeters inside manifest.xml seems to make some difference, but doesn't solve the issue entierly:

  <Parameter>--windowless-frame-rate=60</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--disable-frame-rate-limit</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--disable-gpu-vsync</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--disable-gpu</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--disable-gpu-compositing</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--hardware-acceleration=false</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--hardware-video-decode-framerate=0</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--enable-begin-frame-scheduling</Parameter>

I have shared more info on github. This isn't a solution really. https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/issues/467#issuecomment-1267126721
