Low fps?

[TurtleP]

Hi all,

I am working on updating an old game one of my group's beta testers and I made together. One of my current issues is that even with VSync on, I only get ~43FPS. I'd like to make that number a lot higher, say 60 FPS. This is after porting it over to Love 0.9.1. I am not sure if it's the game, video drivers, or what. Here is a .love of the current build:

It runs smoothly on my computer. Which part is it, that is to slow? The main game?

You are reseting vsync setting to default in main.lua line 234:

Code: Select all

love.window.setMode(screen_width, screen_height)

changing it to this:

Code: Select all

love.window.setMode(screen_width, screen_height, { vsync = false })

makes fps go up

// and it works fine for me too, even with vsync on

When I do love.timer.getFPS() in love.update or print it on screen, it shows 43 as the FPS. Yeah, it also seems to be the main game that feels the slowest.

When phoenix's health bar reaches zero I got this:

Code: Select all

Error: classes/hpbar.lua:50: Can't set scissor with negative width and/or height.

This is not stable, and is not really intended for people to play. It's to help fix my low FPS issue. But thanks anyway for that. I somehow managed to forget to stop it from doing that.

I figured out what was wrong: too many for loops during the game_update method. It's all fixed up and runs smooth as butter now . If anyone wants, I might set up this as a public beta and release things every now and then.
