Hello, I am currently playing on Windows 7 and I am experiencing a serious fps lag when lots of development points are being generated. I cannot think it would be my laptop as I have been running much more demanding games on higher settings for a while now. Just wondering if this was a known issue?

At me to. In the 22nd year game so much freezing and this not only when “points are being generated”. This is trouble optimization of the game - 100%. I paid 266 roubles and wait hotfix from developments! 
PS sorry for my english.
Hmm yes it seems the further I progress the worse it gets. I’m not sure why this is, but Greenheart are awesome and I’m sure they’ll be able to fix it.

We haven’t really seen this before. Could you send me your save files?
Just zip up the LocalStorage folder under
C:\Users{USER}\AppData\Local\Game Dev Tycoon
Where {USER} is your windows user name. Send them to support@greenheartgames.com and I will investigate this further.
Could you please also try turning the sound off (in the ESC menu) and see if this makes any difference?
not surprised, cash and points is hacking
but I don’t think that a problem because of it.
the one save game we got so far was an edited version. I suspect you got this from normal gameplay? If yes, the save game would be helpful.
Yes the only editing done is copying the saves over to a backup folder. Will the files be ok?
I’m having serious FPS issues as well when I develop large or AAA games. Would you like me to send my save files over?
I sent my save in. What I’ve found so far is that it slows down whenever there’s a popup box on the screen or menu opened. I can clear it until the next time it gets triggered by going to the research room then going back to the main room.
I have found that when developing a large or AAA game, and doing a project (like marketing scheme) and developing a console the game practically goes to a standstill.
could you please tell us your PC specs as well?
I had a few similar issues, but I put it down to my crazy MMO. I didn’t really have any problems before it, but once the numbers got so large, the boxes to the right of the screen would flicker and lagg and the game as a whole ran a little slower. If it occurs again, without a crazy MMO at the same time, I’ll send the save file in.
Update: It’s only happening on my laptop, not my desktop.
Laptop:
Dell/Alienware m11x
Windows 7 Home Premium
Core i5-520UM
4 GB ram
GeForce GT 335M
If the lag only comes up on a laptop adjust the optimus settings to use the dedicated gpu instead of the cpu’s one
You could also try setting your windows performance plan to “High Performance”, I’ve found a lot of users that use my program (which is quite intensive) get nice improvements from doing so. Of course make sure you keep the laptop cool and possibly plugged in.
Well, I haven’t edited or touched the folder location and I get tons of lag when I start generating points.
It stops somewhere around half way through stage 2 (half way through)
Hope a fix comes out soon? ^^
The game runs really bad, sometimes only 1 fps (training all 7 people, developing game, scrolling to the R&D or hardware lab…)
The game is nice, but this lags make it terrible to play. In the garage or the second office it is better, but not perfekt.
AMD 3.1 GHz with 4 cores
AMD Raden HD 6870
RAM: 8 GB
Same here, Q6600@3.6 nvidia 4601gb 8gb ram, No SSD. I also tried Ramdisk / no sound device / fresh windows 7 64bit installation and no luck. When there are alot of bubbles around it is like frame skipping. If i watch bubbles, like 0.1 - 0.5 sec freezes in period of every 2-5secs randomly. PC can handle bf3 and other big games without problems. Windows is already for max performance. Switching to R&D and other side also so lagy. Do we need to install / optimize Flash player / java etc for this game ? i am mainly using chrome. All windows updates, driver updates , visual C++ etc etc uptodate.
this problem is very complex as far i know developers wasn’t thinking that player would start research in lab then do game development and do research on ad company and as result games lags as hell
considering i nut i want to develop all topic games as mmo and a came to same problem game just can’t handle it and i only hit about 4-5 MMOS game barely runs fine checked with fraps fps drops under 30 frames mostly :(((.
