Battle Text Window Lag

[BlackDove 0]

I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem (and pardon me if this has been discussed a billion times), but for some reason whenever I make a text window appear in a battle, the game slows down pretty dang bad. Sometimes it runs perfectly smooth though. Anyone know the cause/remedy for this?

 

Example (pardon the crazy alien jargon):

Line 222 in Scene_Battle 1

if $game_system.battle_interpreter.running?

 

Change it to this:

if $game_system.battle_interpreter.running? && !@message_window.visible

 

The section will look like this after the edit:

  def update
   # If battle event is running
   if $game_system.battle_interpreter.running? && !@message_window.visible
     # Update interpreter
     $game_system.battle_interpreter.update

 

*hugs*

After doing some more experimentation (and inserting that code, thanks!), the lag only seems to kick in now when I have 3 or 4 party members... otherwise it's totally smooth. Any idea what's causing this?

I only had this problem on a lower end computer. On my higher end computer i haven't had this problem at all.

Without looking into it I'd guess the lag is caused by the message window being refreshed unnecessarily often. Like the contents being redrawn every frame instead of just when changes occur.

have you tried downloading and adding an anti lag script to your project? not sure if the anti lag script will actually help with this problem but hey it might?
