i am making a program based mainly on text

i get a high framerate (99) but the text is drawn REALLY slow. the first line appears then the box around it, then the next line, then the box and this goes on and then it all starts again! it is really annoying and it only started happening today! i changed a few lines around and then this started happening! ahhhhhhhhh! fud.

does anyone know why this would happen?

i would suggest that u arnt using your sync command properly ur refreshing the screen while u display the text ect u only need to refresh it after all the text is displayed and the boxes are drawn if u want to see the text come up one bit at a time then ur game will run extremely slow

sounds likely that he aint using sync properly and btw DB Classic text Functions have pretty much allways been slow.

or you are some how reporting your fps code is reporting your fps wrong just a thought as if u include 2 fps checks it doubbles ur frame rate numbers but not the app it self i.e. try this

sync on
sync rate 0

do
print screen fps()
print screen fps()
sync
loop

i think thats correct i havnt used DB Classic since DBP 1st got released
