The game is getting progressively slower on my graphics card (NVIDIA GT1030). Grok provides the following response:
There are several possible reasons why Ren'Py games become increasingly slow over time. This problem affects many players and developers and often depends on the game itself, the Ren'Py version, or the hardware. Here are the most common causes and solutions:
1. Incorrect image display in the code (very common with animations/sequels)
If the developer displays images using `show image` instead of `scene image` (e.g., in frame-by-frame animations like `show frame1`, `show frame2`, etc.), the images pile up in memory. Ren'Py doesn't automatically replace them but stacks them on top of each other – after many images, the game becomes extremely slow.
Solution: This is due to the developer. Try saving and reloading the game to see if this temporarily resolves the issue (it reloads the memory). Otherwise, restart the game or wait for updates.
Perhaps this can fix it?
Thanks.
