    Gamemaker resource tree is lagging [1.499]

    Hey all My game is running fine once it starts, zero lag, everything runs as it should. All good there. The problem is that gamemaker itself is lagging, in the resource tree specifically. If I need to choose a new object to place in a room from the drop down menu, it takes MULTIPLE clicks to...

    Windows mouse_x is slow?

    If I do this in the end-step event, x = mouse_x It lags behind the actual windows cursor by a lot. Is there something I'm missing, or will it always be a step behind? Semi visual solution: Because my initial goal was to change the game's cursor to indicate functions, I ended up using the...

    GameMaker Simple Game is lagging.. fps_real in the hundreds.

    So I've been making a pretty simple game, but on some devices, it lags from 60fps to around 45. I'm not new to Gamemaker lag, I've worked with delta_time before, but I'd rather try to find the core problem here, instead of hiding it. Each room is 10000px square, with <100 objects, half of which...

    GameMaker Apparent input lag?

    Long story short: Somewhere between the game input and the graphics pipeline there's something noticeably delaying what seems to be the reaction of the game character to input. Where should I start looking? Any suggestions on input optimization? Have anyone else dealt with this?

    Edit: SOLVED! I managed to fix the bug by resetting the background every time the room starts up. I did this easily by making a small script; background_ID = layer_background_get_id(0); background_sprite = layer_background_get_sprite(background_ID); layer_background_destroy(background_ID)...

    Hi! In my game, I have always 30 FPS (equal to room speed). But whenever I use 'dash' in a big room, there is a huge lag spike. The FPS drops to 14-19 while the dash is active. The dash does the usual run speed x15 for 20 steps + plays a wind sound and then resets back to usual run speed. I...
