deep acorn
When I leave tower testing on in the background of my computer to do something else, the speed of the game has errors. I leave 2x speed on constantly and most of the time when I come back the game time is no where near twice that of the real time. Today I had a new error, as it seems the game completely stopped as the game time is actually less than the real time.

lag can mess with things. Also if your computer sleeps it tends to not let time progress

It wasn't asleep. Lag could have been the issue but I highly doubt it as I have a pretty solid computer and haven't run into lag before.

did you just leave the window open in the background or did you minimize it?
when you minimize a window windows assigns less processing power to it
this would cause the game to run slower

whe...
I left it open and just switched tabs

I left it open and just switched tabs
you switched tabs...
that would do it
we had the same problem with tpt1 before, and there's not actually much that we can do about it
have to keep the game focused for it to run normally

"Tabs" I'm on the steam version but yeah I had another application running in the foreground on top of it
honest geyser
oh
if you're on the steam version then yeah that's weird
are you using dynamic rendering?
agile onyx
are you using dynamic rendering?
Why does dynamic rendering matter?
Also does keeping the tab partially visible work
honest geyser
Why does dynamic rendering matter?
lag
also they said they're on the steam version
agile onyx
Does it help or hurt?
cloud bronze
it should help
it should also minimize gpu usage, not set it to 0 because the graphics are how the game processes things, but it should lower our

Cool
Does keeping the tab partially visible work or does it reduce CPU allocation as wel

wdym keeping the tab partially visible?
like in the case of tpt1, I had to put the game in it's own window and keep it behind other windows without minimizing it, to keep it going at full speed
but the steam version wouldn't normally have this issue
I think there's a power throttling option somewhere in windows, but I forgot how to get to it
honest geyser
That only partially covers it
keeping it visible doesn't matter in the case of windows
it just has to not be minimized
zero clue for chromebook
agile onyx
Cool
I try to keep it partially visible anyways just to not risk it recieving less cpu
I mean it seems to work given the amount of lag it causes

ahh wait actually I think you would have to keep it visible without disabling a few specific chrome flags
but it's not like you're gonna be doing anything else while tpt2 is running anyways
