Hmm. Have you played around with the Properties of the .exe itself? I know I had slow frame rate (nothing unplayable, felt like a steady 24 fps) until I fixed the DPI settings.
Right click > Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > Check both boxes for Program DPI and High DPI scaling override
Hope this helps. Give it a shot if you haven't!
Yeah, it’s the rendering! How detailed are your floor/ceiling textures? Try to make those just solid colors and do a test run to see if that reduces lag. For the engine to have to render so many graphics in the field of view simultaneously can cause it to run slower than optimal. I personally don’t have this issue, so it can be tied to your computer specs too!
What are some issues you're having? Maybe I could help!
I'm trying to upload an icon but it keeps saying icon incompatible upon creating the game. I used an icon maker to create a .ico. Anyone know how to fix this?
Did you check to make sure that the white pixelated outline on the sprites are RBG (0,0,0)? Perhaps through compression there is an off-white (ie. RBG (3,1,4)) that is outlining the enemies, which may not be detectable to the eye when looking at the sprite file. Try filling the background of your sprites as black and see if those off-whites show.
Hope this helps!
Anyone here currently using RGM v5 for a project?
