Does the built application run better?

Well there was an awkward stutter that would randomly happen while testing my game in Fusion2.5. I couldn't figure out what it was for a long time. I just did a test build and problem seems to be fixed!! (for now) Am I crazy or do built versions seem to function a lot smoother? Could my stutter have been just because I was running it in Fusion 2.5? Has anyone experienced similar?

That's interesting that the actual build seems to not have that problem, whereas in Fusion, it does.

If anything I've always had the opposite. Something will run beautifully in Fusion, but lo-and-behold, when I test it out, it's a hot mess.

Most of the stuff I do is mobile based, and with only lower-end devices at my disposal for testing ,it can be a real pain trying to see if something within the game is actually broken or if it's just the device.

Kind of went off topic there, sorry.

Question for you,

When you test your game in Fusion, do you run the debugger on the side to see what is happening? That thing can be a life-saver, let me tell ya. Maybe it can pinpoint where the stutter is happening?

Thanks for the insight. Yeah I actually found out what it is and it doesn't have to do with the Built application. In the built application VSYNC was not turning on (due to my own fault with a forgotten line of code in the settings load events). VSYNC was actually causing this stutter, which I think was strange because VSYNC is supposed to make the game smoother! Oh well now I know.

The stutter is most likely being caused by the debugger, which is known to cause fps drops. Close the debugger while running your game and see if the issue persists.
