Strange FPS bug

[24/7 Alpha]

Specs on my previous bug post http://steamcommunity.com/app/411960/discussions/1/361798516937310452/

I have this odd bug were (even on max settings) the game runs fast on the main menu and pauseing it (both locked at a solid 60FPS) but ingame it changes to 30FPS and fluctuateing to 15 when ever specal events like cutsences load in.Eeven in mid gameplay i pause it goes to a solid 60fps when i unpause it stays 60 but then after 3-6 seconds it goes back to 30 its really quite annoying but i still maniged to beat the game

Hey mate

With your PC specs, I don't think your GPU can handle the settings you're currently running at.
The main menu and pause screen will run fast as it isn't rendering anything.
Try running the game at
- shadows = low
- reflections = low

Also - the grass to "low" if you can set that option, and set the draw distance to low or medium

And let me know how that goes? The Intel GPUs of the type you have aren't exactly "run at high res" GPUs.

It is a bit odd that it fluctuates with the pausing - so if you can do the above and let me know how it goes, I'd appreciate the feedback!

Hi everone. I am plaing the game and completed the first level (Two Up), however now I am experiencing overall slowdown. This includes areas in Two Up i.e. the bridge T-Junction before the group Frills fight for the Thunder Egg. Also in some areas in the water Ty walks along the pillar rock and stands on the water before swimming in it.

I am playing the game on low res and as soon as I returned to Bli Bli Station everything is slow except the music and the blades of leaves and grass that moves at a normal pace.

Also, I find that the shadows are completely dark on low res. (I have a Laptop running Intel family graphics).

Ok if you want to speed it up the easyest way to do so is to use razer game booster

or if your more technical you can set the task with priority manualy this can help you get started https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niNc4Xr46xk

you can also set game heapsize (more ram) to games but this is mostly used by the source engine in valve games

(also i did not use these methods in my vid)

Thanks, I'll see if any of the two methods work.

Update: I tried the Razer Cortex Booster and it slowed the game completely down to between 1 to 3 fps. So I uninstalled it and did the prioritising option and that resolved my slowdown problem. Now the only issue left is the dark colours / shade problem. (I have disabled the shadow option in the game but the areas are still very dark.)

Thank you for your help TL5 24/7 Alpha.
