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.

Extreme and Sudden FPS Issue

Post by Snowsight515 »

For a reason I literally cannot fathom, GZDoom 3.5.0 now refuses to run faster than 1-2 FPS. This was not the case just yesterday, and nothing has changed between then and now. I am at a complete loss.

I have tried (so far)

-Restarting my computer
-Shutting down, then restarting my computer
-Defragging
-Running a virus scan
-Running a graphics card diagnostic
-Updating my graphics card
-Changing the in-game renderer (all options tested)

Nothing is running in the background that could explain this, and other, more graphics-intensive games (Star Wars: Empire at War, for instance) run just fine with no unusual issues.

Try renaming or deleting your INI file to see if that helps. Maybe it got corrupted or something, or you accidentally changed an option and didn't notice or forgot.
