It works fine for a lot of people, I know that doesn't help you in this issue. But, unless the *exact* issue can the identified, then it's very difficult to "correct" anything.
Standard FGF fonts are already rendered as bitmaps and are just displayed, with very little overhead. If you're using a ruleset (or an extension) that uses TTF fonts instead, then these have to be rendered and could cause slowdown.
A few questions:
- What ruleset are you using?
- What extensions are you using?
- Do you have Windows "scale and layout" set to anything other than 100%? Some info here: https://winaero.com/blog/set-display...ng-windows-10/
- Is the "Cross-platform compatibility mode for Linux and Mac" enabled or disabled in your FG settings window?
- Have you tried changing any graphics card settings?Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

1. 5e Ruleset
2. No extensions
3. Windows is set on 100% scale and layout, running at 1920 x 1080 (Recommended)
4. Cross platform Disabled.
5. No anti-aliasing selected on Graphic card settings.
Fraps reports it running at 15fps with no windows open. With the CT open or any other window it drops to 5 fps.
All the latest drivers and windows updates. Every other program runs fine.

There have been issues reported previously when running overlays (including Fraps).
- Do you see a similar slowdown when not running Fraps?
- Does the slowdown improve if "Cross-platform compatibility mode for Linux and Mac" is enabled?Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

I do not normally run Fraps. I only ran it to see how much the FPS drops when the CT or other windows are open. As I mentioned it immediately drops from 15FPS to 5. Down to 2 or 1 with four windows open.
Enabling or disabling Cross-platform compatibility has no noticeable effect.
I am at a loss to explain it, other than the text is generated in a different way than normal. If I can run Skyirm at 30fps, I should be able to run FG at 100 FPS!

Yeah, Intel HD Graphics 500.
Not a great card by any means, but it can run Skyrim and Fortnite at about 15-20 fps on low settings. Not great, but playable. That's why I am surprised that a few dice and text slow it to almost a standstill.Last edited by Booker Grimm; September 5th, 2019 at 07:36.

We’ve had a few reports over the years of Intel graphics causing issues with DirectX 9.

Yes, but FG has embedded in it and uses DirectX 9 (regardless if you have a newer version installed)
I don't know if anyone has ever tried uninstalling a more recent DirectX and seeing if that helps, or specifically doing a stand-alone install of 9. Might be worth it since you can always reinstall 12 after testing.
