Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

This is a longshot but try doing gl_renderbuffers 0 in the console. It fixed my FPS problems and made everything so much smoother.

0.3 fps sounds more that something isn't working right. Are you using Windows 10 with the Creator's update? That update seems to whack OpenGL, according to other reports I got.

The creators update made it so that GZDoom took ages to start for me while sitting with a black screen (if it started at all). I reinstalled my drivers and the problem went away. I'm not sure how easy it is to find/install intel drivers. My card is an nVidia one.

Someone should create a gaming OS. Something designed specifically just for gaming and everything games need. That way, the only updates you get are to fix problems with games running and not "fix" things with the OS overall, something MS loves doing constantly.

So, like, SteamOS?
