Working with Game Maker Studio 2.1 on Windows 10
I'm working on the project and I have an issue with low FPS on Fullscreen mode with V-sync on. PC is capable to run the game in high frame rate. The game is set to run at 60 fps (room speed) and it does on the majority of computers. Strange thing happens on this laptop:
Windows 10 Home
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4005U CPU @ 1.70 Ghz
RAM: 8 GB
Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Radeon (TM) HD 8670M
When I launch the game with V-sync OFF (fullsceen on or off), then game runs 60 FPS. When I launch the game with V-sync ON (issue only with fullsceen on), then game runs only 40 FPS. If I minimize the game and come back - frame rate returns to 60 FPS.
If I run the game with V-sync ON and this cause an issue (40 FPS) I can go to my game settings, change to V-sync OFF and the game again returns to 60 FPS.
I tried to change sleep margin, but it has no influence. I checked with 1, 10, 15, 20, 50, 200 sleep margins.
I tried to go *.exe file compatibility properties and checked "disable full-screen optimizations" - no effect.
I tried to run *.exe as administrator - no effect.
For now I found one workaround:
I check if V-sync is on and the game is in fullscreen mode, then if it is I turn OFF v-sync and in the next STEP event turn it back on.
Does anyone have similar problems? Is it GMS bug or am I missing something?
Solved:
It's a display issue.
