Hey guys, I’m running into a problem with the frame rate. screen fps() says that I am getting 50 fps when I want it to run at 60 and nothing I do will make it run at that. HELP

If your program is trying to do too much work between each sync then it might not be able to run at 60 frames per second. The 60 is just the maximum that you've set - the actual frame rate depends on what your program is doing.

Can you get 60 fps with a very simple loop with no media, etc?

If you set it to sync rate 60 you get about 64 fps. What sync rate are you using? Also what gandalf said, if there are a lot of calculations fps will go down.

I have the sync rate set to 60 fps; usually I get a reading of 59-61. I turned on my computer today to take another look at it and it ran at 60 fps. Guess all I really needed was to restart my computer. That would explain why none of the fixes I tried worked.

EDIT: YAY!!
EDIT2: never mind I found what really causes the slowdown. Anyone here ever heard of cloudnine, of course not, but that is a large program and it keeps running after it’s closed. This program is what caused the slowdown.
