My best logical guess for the slowdowns that occur even in a generally great, generally LAGLESS game like Steam BTD5 is that conditions like what we are talking about are UNIQUE, EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES that will still overload the software code and tax your hardware processing power when pushed beyond their code design limits.įor instance, to show you how superior Steam BTD5 is in terms of reducing game lag over Flash BTD5, someone has recently, legitimately reached round 1100+ on Steam BTD5 in a single player game. Remember, everything you do on a computer, including games, all comes down to math and the speed at which calculations can be made. However, in many cases, especially for games, it's not just the hardware that determines overall performance.
BLOONS TOWER DEFENSE 5 ROUNDS PRO
I'm a pro tech manager but I don't code, so I cannot really say. But why does it slow so much when I have plenty of system resources available? And thank you for that great explanation. Originally posted by DnaielPartstone:Okay, I'll look into that.

That person did exactly what you have done here. This person posted basically the EXACT SAME ISSUE as you, also on Steam BTD5.Ĭarefully read what I wrote there and also what Aaron wrote. PS: For more proof of what I said above, carefully read this whole thread from the classic NK BTD5 forums: There is ZERO PROBLEMS with your hardware - you have just accidentally created the worst lag situation possible in all of the BTD5 games. You can basically use any other tower instead, but I suggest using Supers so you can see the literal NIGHT AND DAY difference in the game.Īnd it will absolutely prove everything I have said. Just trust me on this man.to give you some assurance I know what I am talking about, I have been with BTD5 for 3+ years, am known in the BTD5 forum community, am XP rank 98 in Flash BTD5 and XP rank 84 in Steam BTD5 AND I also happen to be the legit #1 player all time in BTDB Battles.ĭo what I suggest.first, DITCH ALL THOSE TORNADO WIZARDS and BLOONCHIPPERS. You can probably even just stick with all those Subs you have placed, but they may not be enough - I cannot tell since your Task Manager window is blocking the image. I GUARANTEE YOU that you will NOT EXPERIENCE anywhere near the lag you are seeing right now.Īgain, the reason is that you have accidentally used the 2 towers which are the ABSOLUTE WORST against Regen Bloon rounds. How? Sell off your Tornado Wizards and Bloonchippers. Even better, get 1 of each BEFORE that killer round starts. In fact you can get a couple of them at least. You have MORE THAN ENOUGH CASH at this point to get a RoboPlasma or even a SunGod, especially under Village.

Use other MORE EFFECTIVE TOWERS.the easiest way to see the difference is to use SUPERS. Which, as you are experiencing, is OVERWHELMING the game and your machine. your use of Tornado Wizards AND Bloonchippers has created the conditions for an ENDLESS LOOP of REGEN BLOONS.

Remember what Tornado Wizards do - they DON'T REALLY KILL BLOONS VERY WELL - they simply BLOW BLOONS BACK.Ĭombine this tower action with REGEN BLOONS and what you have done is accidentally created a thing known as REGEN FARMING. Your biggest problem on the screenshot is your use of Bloonchippers and even worse, Tornado Wizards. Why? Because suddenly you will have not just 100s of bloons on screen but thousands.even 10s of thousands. Which means that unless you kill those regens completely right away, they will simply RE-SPAWN and overwhelm both your defenses and your machine. They are known as regens because unless you wipe out a regen completely and immediately, any remaining layer of regen bloon will immediately RE-SPAWN to its original health and layer. While Steam BTD5 is nearly lag-free when compared to Flash BTD5, Steam BTD5 will STILL LAG under certain conditions, one condition in particular which you are making happen on this screenshot. I am glad you took my advice and posted a screenshot of the lag occurrence.your problem is pretty much exactly what I suspected it would be. The problem is YOU.actually, the towers you are using - more specifically, WHEN you are using those towers.
