Runing the game from Visual Studio 2008 = slow

by Arden · in Torque X 3D · 09/09/2010 (2:00 pm) · 6 replies

Hiya folks, this might seem like a noob question to most of you, but is it normal that my game runs quite slower when launched from VS 2008 as opposed to from the TX editor? I can easily see it by looking at projectiles, from choppy movement in VS to smooth in TX.

Yes, a decrease in performance is normal when running in debug from Visual Studio.

If it's a big problem and you don't NEED to be in debug for what you're doing, just use your release build when launching from VS. It should perform much better.

Even then it will have the debugger attached. You should use the run option without the debugger ( I think shift-f5 from memory? )
