Unplayable Frame Rate

[Dalí Llama]

The game runs between 5 and 10 fps and I can barely even use the menu. I have disabled my secondary monitor and my card supports stage3d. Any ideas?

[Dalí Llama]

No one? Ah well, I already had a lot of fun with this on IOS & only picked up my second copy on a bundle, so I can't complain ;) Still fancy the TV/controller experience though. Hopefully it'll work better for me in the future when I have new hardware, or there will be a future patch.

If anyone has the same problem and a solution though, please let me know :)

Hey Dali, what gfx card is it?

[Dalí Llama]

Sorry to bother you about this, it's a Radeon HD 5870. Cheers.

[TreeFortressGames]

Ouch, that's brutal. It should work with a card that new... I'll see if we can file a bug with Adobe about it.

[Dalí Llama]

Thanks very much. I'm planning an upgrade in the near future for some of the newer titles that I'm currently holding off on (as wonderfull as it is, I didn't expect Bardbarian to be on that list lol). I already had a lot of fun with it on the ipad, so no worries if I just have to be patient till then ;)

Congrats on a fun and addictive game by the way, and best of luck with future endeavours.

Hi, I just went to play the game after a few months and i'm getting the same problem on my GTX 660 but I've played the game on this pc before without any problems.

Tried disabling SLI, and updating AIR to the latest version but it made no difference

I have the same problem with Marc. Few weeks ago, I was able to play the game without a problem but right now, I have very low fps.

[metatron]

same problem, I have a radeon 7850

Great game but also very low FPS with my Radeon 7850 :(

Just updated Adobe AIR and it still runs terrible.

Same problem here, terrible framerate. I've updaded Adobe AIR to no avail.

Same here, and my PC can run Bioshock infinite. You wouldn't think a game as simple as this would be so laggy... :/

[Sevententwentytwenty]

I have crappy on board laptop graphix and somehow have no lag or stuttering with this game. Dodged a bullet on that one! Radeon hd8400

Same problem here with a Radeon 5870.

All we can really do is keep updating the AIR Runtime, and hope Adobe fixed the issue internally. The game runs ok even on crappy internal ultrabook gpu's, so we think it must be a bug internally with Adobe AIR and not with the game. A 5870 should be able to run about 8 instances of this game without breaking a sweat!

If we can reproduce internally, we can put together a specific test case or Adobe, but right now we can't, and don't really have any budget or time to start buying a ton of different GPU hardware.

Next update to AIR should be AIR 16 in January sometime. We'll update Bard at that point and keep fingers crossed.
Cheers,
