I've never used unity either, sounds like they used a property that means "variable time between frames" in a context that is expecting a constant.
Almost sounds like they were setting up a "thing happens faster if your CPU is faster" type of logical bug that the engine is at least preventing internally.
Ouch. Maybe they need a Turbo button.
DeltaTime is the old "tie the physics to the framerrate" thing old console games did because they knew they'd be running at a certain frame rate
When I was learning unity for a week it was literally lesson #2 in 3 different video lesson series NOT to use DeltaTime like that
Oh god. This brings me back to QBASIC days and how I upgraded my computer and it broke all my programs because I was an idiot and controlled time delays using for-loops, lol.
