inlinevirtual

• Update methods are the place to do system per frame processing. You should call the system update once each time through the game loop to service the system.
  • Note that currently the GameClient and GameLogic will be updating at different rates where the logic is running real time, and the client will adjust how many loops can be done during one server time slice in order to improve performance on low end machines.

Implements SubsystemInterface.

Reimplemented in W3DDisplayStringManager.
