Framerate capped after Windows update (~32)

FlashFix

ohhhh I just found the bug and the solution guys !!!!
I juste removed a piece of code and got the 32 fps bug !

OK so basically I had this piece of code
[SWF(width = "1280", height = "720", frameRate="60", backgroundColor="#000000")]

I just removed the frameRate setting and got the bug after export release !

I immediately did the famous ctrl+z (undo) put the code back and reexported and my game was back at 60 FPS !

😃

FlashFix Nice catch!

So what you mean is that [SWF(frameRate="60")] above your "Main" class is mandatory to ensure the 60 fps all time?

Will try this out as soon as I can.

FlashFix

Did the fix work ?

Just to follow up with this , the fix TeotiGraphix suggested worked for me. With an NVidia 1080 card, I had to set my Power Management to Performance rather than Optimal, and voila, back to 60fps. Sad thing is most users will never tweak that they need to do this, so its a shame they still haven't found a real solution rather than just a workaround.

FlashFix

HeChaos use this piece of code

import starling.core.Starling;
import starling.events.ResizeEvent;

[SWF(width = "1280", height = "720", frameRate="60", backgroundColor="#000000")]
public class GameName extends Sprite
{

If you don't put the frameRate setting it will put 32 fps by default with new Windows updates.

@FlashFix the issue is not related to the metadata missing or incorrect, it happens regardless.

HeChaos

For sure Artemix - can confirm that that code has no effect (for me anyway) as I always had something similar in my games.

Necroing thread, sorry bout that.

While doing some game prototyping I got annoyed about this again so I tried a few solutions.

What worked was to explicitly set the max framerate in the GPU driver. No need to add "prefer performance", at least for me.

I just set it to 60 and I got my debugger back to normal.

(this is on a pre-Harman SDK btw, but I doubt that changes anything).

TeotiGraphix

TeotiGraphix Glad I saved this! I almost tore an app apart because it was at 32fps again(thought there was a UI recursion 😆 ), either this last Windows 10 update or NVidia update reset all the settings again.

Any insights on this with Windows 11 (intel iRIS Xe) and Adobe Animate Simulator? Can't get above 32 fps, this project has been 60 fps on simulator on older setup (in ca 2021).

Have tried to maximize performance through windows settings on Adobe Animate.

FlashFix

matpg are you using a laptop on battery mode by any chance ? (Not plug in the wall)

matpg

FlashFix Laptop yes, but connected to wall.

FYI, on my side similar performance issues have been fixed by the following fixes from Harman:

This was included within AIR 33.1.1.935 and AIR 50.0.1.1

Artemix

I still use a pre-Harman version of Air because of the splash screen while developing, did that change? is there a free version of Harman Air used for testing that doesn't have the splash screen?.

TeotiGraphix

Artemix No, the license means you can use the compilers. So anytime you use the compiler, the splash screen is summoned if you don't have a license.

matpg

It jumped to 60 at two different occasions now, both after having the simulator open for a couple of minutes while, one of them being after computer went into sleep mode and me reactivating again. Good to know that it 60 fps still is reacheable.
