Can't even get 60 fps

[Yuriuko]

Are all the game capped between 30-40 fps or is it just a poor port of the game?

Hey Yuriko - the games are capped at 30 to 40fps because of the way the original games were made, the way the animations sync up and so on. I experimented with a 60fps version but it created some straaange issues just to do with the game's internal timings, so I abandoned it. In a future patch I might allow a "Hyper Mode" button that you can set the FPS to 60 (at your own peril!).

Aaah I see but ya I sadly refunded due to that fact and also I have a gaming laptop and I though hey if this is a not so demanding game I could run it in eco mode but nah it gets 10-13 fps. Will you patch the game later to utalize more of the GPU?

Unfortunately, Flash-based games do not use the GPU at all, so the fasted gaming laptop in the world will not help.

They're literally the original Flash games from back in the days of yore, patched and packaged up and compiled for desktop machines. Classic Flash was never able to take advantage of a user's GPU, so all the load was placed on the CPU - particularly with vector based games that used more maths calculations to draw animations, like S&S did ( the Redux versions use Starling, a diff tech.)

It's not something that is possible to fix, Flash as you know being basically 'finished', there's never going to be GPU enhancement. So yeah, sadly many old Flash games (these included), can create significant load on the CPU , even though it doesn't look like much is going on - particularly when running in 4x the resolution like many monitors have these days.

If the game run's poorly for anyone, my best suggestion is to change the in-game resolution to one of the lower settings which should have a marked improvement on performance - though of course, they're capped at 30-40fps as the classic ones always were.

Ya,it's not like you can change the code or something to run the game better and it would take too long to implament it to use the GPU cause as you said flash games where never intended to sue them. And evem if you did you would have to do it to all the other games. I just don't like the fact that the only way to run it is that my CPU runs at 70 degrees at 4 GHz.

idk what lap you're using, but i have a fairly cheap one (by no means a gaming laptop) and the games run fine, even in eco mode. not sure why you arent getting at least 30 fps.

When I meant Eco mode I was referring to the Eco mode built into MSI's Dragon Center and not in terms of battery modes. I have Eco, Comfort, Performance and Turbo. I would have though that Eco mode would be fine but I guess not due to think that the game itself would not be very demanding. I run it on Comfort then it runs okay but then the CPU goes to 70 degrees which what I would have like to avoid.

Thats what happens when u buy a laptop mate, i got a pc with a 4770k and my cpu never gets used much

True but it still does the job for other games
