Need help to optimize Framerate

[Dobermann]

As far as sounds go. I have no clue why your sounds lag your app so much. The game I am working on right now has sounds playing like crazy and tons of objects on the screen. So far, no lag at all.
I am even running this game on my Oldest Phone with no Sound Issues or Lag.
Only Lag I get from time to time is recording the game with a screen recorder on my old Phone.

Well, it's something that has been discussed for a while: https://community.clickteam.com/threads/109650-Att-Fernando-Samples-causing-lag

In my game, you control a character that use weapons, and enemies uses weapons too, there is an online matchmaking so, more weapons shooting at same time.
I get FPS drops everytime a sample is played (no issue with musics). Like if the game search for the sound, load it up then play it.

Also, how do you play sounds? In my case i use "play sample on specific channel", maybe this action use more memory?

try to swap fire sound with another than you know without problem.
i think it's possible to add actives in one with surface object (blitting)

peraps it could help you

Thanks for sharing your methods, i've tried a lot of them but most of my issues comes from the sounds played each time a player shoot. If i deactivate sounds, no more frame drops...

I don't know if you use Scaling in your Android app, but yesterday I came across a huge bug that froze my phone for about 15 seconds each time.
I had an explosion that scaled by X / Y scale + 1 and for whatever reason. During the scaling, if the user touched the screen. Instant freeze!
Which turned out the scaling did something odd to the Multitouch object. Basically the Multitouch object went into a frozen state during scaling
and if you touched the screen it would lock up the device.

I say Android as it had no issues on my Laptop. No lag, nothing!

So unfortunately, it seems like scaling on Android is bad too.
