Hi I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this -
I have a game I’m making in Mac OS is runs great there but in Windows on the same computer (it’s a intel based iMac with dual boot) it runs unplayably slow. Any ideas what could cause this and how to remedy the problem?
Thanks
Might be Windows not using your dedicated gpu for running your game.
Changing the default graphics card in Windows 11 ensures that your applications use the most powerful graphics card available. This can lead to better performance and an overall smoother experience. Here’s how to do it:
First, open the Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I.
To start, you need to access the Settings app. Pressing the Windows key + I is a quick shortcut that takes you directly there.
Next, click on the “System” option in the Settings menu.
The System tab houses many important settings, including the ones we need to change the graphics card.
After clicking System, choose “Display” from the left-hand menu.
The Display settings are where you’ll find options to customize your screen, including selecting which graphics card to use.
Scroll down until you find “Graphics settings” and click on it.
The Graphics settings option is usually near the bottom. This is where you can manage settings for individual applications.
Click “Browse” to add an app or choose one from the list already provided.
Whether you want to add a new app or change settings for an existing one, this step lets you specify which graphics card to use.
Select the app, click “Options,” and then choose between “Power saving” (uses integrated graphics) or “High performance” (uses dedicated graphics).
This is the main step where you assign the desired graphics card to the application, maximizing either performance or battery life.
Once you complete these steps, your chosen applications will use the designated graphics card for better performance or power saving, depending on your preference.
Sorry I should have added I tried it on my work computer as well with the same problem. Plus I do play games in Windows I imagine they wouldn’t run well if that was the problem. I did check though it is pointing at the proper graphics card. Thanks
I use windows, it runs fine
I’m talking about a game I’m developing I know gdevelop runs fine in windows I’m wondering if there is an issue with something made on a mac in gdevelop running in windows
While I can’t give guidance on what would be causing the issue you are seeing, I can say that the exported GDevelop project (or even a non-exported GDevelop project) doesn’t know care (or even know) what OS it was made from, so there shouldn’t be any way for it to care if it’s running in Windows after being made on a Mac.
