So, I have a pretty old potato laptop (CPU: Intel Core i7 3520M, GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000, windows 10, 64-bit). it can run Renpy VNs, so it's more than enough for me.
But recently (like 3-4 months ago) games started become buggy out of nowhere (animated scenes lagged, after a few minutes of reading/gameplay the game started responding slower).
Going into details:
These renpy games usually come with 2 exe files (a 64-bit and a 32-bit version), so whenever I started regularly playing adult games (like 4 years ago), I obviously run the 64-bit exe, because that made sense (Note: I have pretty limited tech knoweldge) and I just ignored the 32-bit one, because those are for 32-bit PCs or that's what I thought. Not long after launching that first game (can't remember the name of it, long time ago), I experiened the buggy gameplay that I was talking about. So with my limited knowledge I was confused because I thought a simple VN with a few animated scenes shouldn't be problem even for my potato. So my curiosity got me to launch the game with the 32-bit exe (I thought that might launch the game with a "simpler" form/look, IDK I'm clueless ok?), but to my surprise it legit solved all the problems that I had. Animations were smooth and I could spend hours in the game without the game becoming slower. So whenever I downloaded a new Renpy game I started using the 32-bit exe every time.
So the problem I'm having now is some of these games stopped coming with 32-bit exe and I don't know why, and I obviously wasn't surprised about the laggy gameplay whenever I tried to run them with the 64-bit exe. Sadge
So, if anyone has any idea why the 64-bit version laggy or why the 32-bit one working or why some games stopped coming with 32-bit exe, I would appreciate it. Like really, any solution/information about this whole situation is welcomed. Thank you!! <3
