So, I haven’t reported this sooner because I didn’t really, bother to…
But, I’m having some really terrible performance with the game when I get my R&D and Hardware Lab going…
It seems to happen most often, when there’s an event window. Whether for G3, or for the summary of your sales for your last game.
Anyone has any ideas?
What are your PC specs?
AMD A10 Quad Core
AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2GB GDDR5
8GB of RAM
Pretty overkill for this game lol.
Try going into task manager and setting the game priority to “High”
You can do this by
Right clicking on the taskbar and selecting “Start Task Manager”
Then, go into the “Applications” tab
Right click on Game Dev Tycoon and select “Go To Process”
Right click on the highlighted process and go into the “Set Priority” menu and select “High”
Be sure you set it to high and not Realtime
Alright, I’ll try that.
It is running smoother, but it’s still running a little clunky.
Hmm, do you have any background programs open, if so, try closing them
All I have is the steam library, internet browser and the game.
Oh, i don’t really know what else you can do
Yeah… I mean, it is running smoother but there’s still some odd, short freezes.
Are you running he latest AMD drivers??
It’s probably all the tech and design bubbles causing lag I have that too sometimes really annoying they should update the game so like 10 bubbles get contained in 1.
Maybe try the tweakmod but last time i tried that mod it didn’t work properly, may be fixed now.
Yeah I’ll try the tweak mod again.
I was just going through a pure vanilla game for my review video (which I haven’t edited yet) and noticed that.
So hopefully the tweak mod can fix this issue.
It does seem to occur when I have all 3 departments working at the same time.
Also you can try switching to the integrated chip on your laptop and comparing performance. And I would suggest checking your power saving options (I have mine set for high performance) and of course keep your laptop plugged in to the mains.
How do I switch to integrated or other card?
I got the settings on high performance.
@MrRain I may know what the real problem here is… Depending on how long you have had the “System” (Pc, Laptop) you may have to either get someone who is good with computers to do Virus scans and getting rid of no longer used programs etc or do it yourself, doing it yourself is at your own risk and don’t go of saying you know computers like the back of your hand.
I can provide support one time for free of basically checking for viruses, getting rid of programs no longer needed and more of the technical stuff, I have had pre-experience in working with fellow professionals of fixing computers and building them and I am only offering this once. If you do accept please contact me via private message and I will get back to you.

Hahahaha.
It’s coded in Javascript what do you expect?
@Tyler_Moore Java requires RAM so that may also be the problem with it, also the code that GDT has is compressed to increase performance, I have noticed that it did make a big difference.
Java and Javascript are two different things.
MrRain, go to your desktop, and right click, then select “switchable graphics” and pick the program you want the dedicated card to run on (GDT > m290x)
That’s how it should be, if not, they may do all that in the new catalyst update. So check in that, if you can, I also notice that the newest AMD drivers bugged out some games, so you may want to go down a driver, and see if that works. (if you’re on the newest driver that is, but try the newest one first)
P.S. AMD added the new “Game DVR” in the newest beta drivers, it’s shadowplay, but for AMD, so maybe try out the beta drivers?
