    GameMaker FPS Dropping Issues

    My game frames per second is set to 60. I noticed when in-game, the fps would drop to 52-57fps and even lower in full-screen. This issue popped up recently as I had no prior issue before hand. I messed with the sleep margin, loading and unloading textures/audio. But I still run into the issue...

    Discussion Supporting Devices with Adaptive Refresh Rate - 90hz - 120hz etc Without using Delta-Time

    Hi All, This post is about targeting a standard game FPS or Room Speed of 60 for your game and aims to find a work-around right now, rather than waiting for a runtime update which some of us may not be able to use, due to other breaking changes, such as how GM strings are handled in newer...

    GameMaker GPU Overloading Problem

    I have an adjustable function in my game, which can be used to increase or decrease the "room_speed". This is to allow players to adjust their FPS rate, which works well if you have a fast computer. But if someone now has a weak graphics card and is worth a room_speed because the graphics card...

    FPS not matching Room Speed?

    I have been wondering why my game's room speed has been fluctuating and I finally found out why. My fps value just won't reach my target fps. I want the game to be processed at 60 FPS, so, that's what I set the game speed to be. I get 40 fps when checking the actual value. However, If I set the...

    Android Android 6 - Marshmallow Performance is Terrible

    Hi all. I've noticed that nearly every game I've played on all of my Marshmallow devices suffers from performance issues. This includes well known titles, not just GMS games. I'm seriously considering not supporting it at all, due to fps inconsistency. Anyone know more about this?

    At what point does the game start to lag?

    I have a game and there will be TON of invisible objects in the room, most of theml will be performing some simple tasks, and the rest some pretty complicated. My question is, at how many objects will the game start to lag on average PC (standard graphics card, around 4GB of RAM)? Thank you for...

    Windowed Mode = Massive Slowdown in game FPS

    This is a weird problem that started just today: whenever I launch a game I am working on (doesn't matter which project, it happens to all of them) the game runs at a terrible FPS (like sub 10 FPS!) in the default window the program launches it in. If I then ALT-ENTER to fullscreen it, the...

    Legacy GM Performance Issues in Title Screen

    Hey there, i have some performance issues, and i really don't know why. It's just a Title Screen with a Menu. I know that drawing costs a lot, but it's just a Title Screen! This also happens in the Game itself but that's probably my code, i guess. It fluctuates between 2000 and 70 fps. It...
