    GameMaker Changed Graphics Card, but got fps drop on GameMaker

    I recently changed my graphic card, from a integrated one (ryzen 3 3200g) to a dedicated one (gtx 960). Almost all my games are having better performance, but I'm having some problems with GameMaker. My FPS suddenly drops to 40 frames and then goes back ot 60. Then, for research, I downloaded...

    SOLVED GM8 Games Suddenly Very Slow

    So I have a high-end laptop and it was a given that I could run my old gamemaker projects without any form of slow down until some random update occured from 'something' (probably either Windows or Nvidia). My old projects now run at like 10 fps out of 60. Note that GM1.4 and GM2 games run fine...

    Legacy GM Game made in GMS 1.4 slows when using second screen or screen capture software

    A game my husband and I are creating in GMS runs at unusable speeds when we use a second monitor. It's OK if the screen is set to "projector only", but as a duplicate it's ridiculously slow, with low FPS to boot. Using Windows 7 and 10. This same game simply cannot be used with any screen...

    Legacy GM surface usage causes huge fps drop

    So I've decided I want to use shaders. I can either apply shader over each drawn object, or draw them all on surface and then apply shader on the surface. I've been through various surface tutorials and I don't think I'm doing something wrong, but it's really bothering me. As I keep regular...

    Windows Extreme performance differences between GMS 1.4 and GMS 2

    I have set up a test in both Game Maker Studio 2 and Game Maker Studio 1.4 which only contains a room 1024x768, 10 objects with an animated sprite (9 frames) and one object that draws the fps_real and the fps on the screen. I made that test because I have performance issues with one of my games...
