Game stutters / is very choppy

[Bio-Mech]

What's Happening

The game animates poorly with huge delays between screen updates.

What's Really Happening

No idea. Really.

Work Around:

Disabling Steam Overlay has been reported to be a possible solution to this problem. Thanks SuperCostaBro.

Running the game in Windowed mode and/or in different resolutions has been reported to be a possible solution to this problem. Thanks Backtop.

Super Motherload now supports DirectX 11. You can configure the game to use Direct3D from the Launcher. This may resolve the problem.

As of 1.03.02, Super Motherload supports Direct3D as a rendering options. You can switch the game to use Direct3D in the Launcher (which now runs using Direct3D). Direct3D is compatible with more video adapters than OpenGL. Direct3D support requires DirectX 11 to be installed.

Be aware that Direct3D support in OpenGL does not draw in as high of a quality as OpenGL, and shows noticeable visual artefacts in resolutions smaller than 1920x1080. We still recommend using OpenGL if it works with your video adapter.
