In other words, chances are it's just as likely the way you've created your game, as it is your computer or the scripts you use. The number of scripts shouldn't be an issue - WHAT the scripts are, how often they're running, and how well they work together are more important considerations. Setting events to parallel process just for animation purposes or adding move routes just for animation, when simply checking the Stepping Anim box would do the trick, also contributes to lag.

The number of events you have on a map can be a factor. It is more likely that you have parallel process events that are always running (either map events or common events) and don't have a Wait command to come up for air between iterations.

But in this thread i want to know if any of you already had problems with lag in RMVX ace, and how did you deal with it? I am continuing with my project and i will release a solid and long demo (~02 gameplay hours) of it for some of my friends in maybe 02 months to test it out, but i am beggining to get a bit worried with the current lag i am getting while playtesting. I know the best way to test this is by giving my project to some friends, so they can test it in a variety of different computer specs.

This may be due to my computer getting old (it's not a real bad config for RMVX Ace, as it has 6GB ram, quad core and a Geforce GT230M), but also because RMVX Ace doesn't handle a lot of scripts very well? I am also using an anti lag script, but even with this i am noticing some lag while the character walks even in medium sized maps, and without any fog or weather effect. So i am investing some time in my project that uses 640x480 res, HF graphics and a lot of scripts (90+) working without any bugs.
