Super Mario Bros. X Forums

The fps of the game varies a lot, sometimes 63, sometimes 58, etc.
And not only does it bother me visually, but it also makes the sounds of the game go choppy, any help?

@ AzucarMario: Welcome here.

Maybe I can help you.

However: I don't know what you mean by "fps".

smbx runs at a fixed tick rate of about 64 per second. usually the game's fps does not go below 60 unless you're playing on a low-end pc, and the cause might vary. the best way to pinpoint the culprit is to use the game's profiler which can be activated by pressing f3, and then f3 again to view the data it's collected. screenshot the top few things that come up as resource-intensive and people will be able to help you better from there. if it's a basegame library causing the slowdown, you can also get help on the codehaus discord.

normally you'd press f3 again and a little message box would pop up that tells you what's hogging resources, but from that screenshot i can notice that the audio memory usage is abnormally high (i've gone and tested a few levels and i haven't managed to get it above 50mb on my end, while you have 200mb). however, that doesn't seem to actually be causing much notable slowdown judging from the frame average, so personally i'm not sure. maybe you can give some of your system specifications and someone on the dev team can take a look? not sure if they'll come across this thread so you can try asking on the discord server as well.
