same here laggy as fuck how can I fix this?
So I tested the Gallery Scenes on my wife's laptop which has a Ryzen 4500U (6c/6t) and it was almost smooth.Lucky you. My pc can handle any level of FHD no problem and 2K with Hardware Acceleration but 4K is slideshow. I just resampled them to FHD and now everything is good.
I checked Task Manager and her CPU usage was maxed out at 100% during all of the vid parts and her iGPU was in the 10-20's.
It's definitely Ren'Py itself not getting enough CPU power as even though you can playback the vids in your favorite media player without issue, Ren'Py is using more CPU for playback instead of hardware GPU.
You could try to switch between the GL and ANGLE renders to see if one works better than the other but it looks like Ren'Py really needs at least 8 threads on the CPU for smooth lag free playback of 4K vids until they (ever) update their lib files to handle hardware GPU rendering better.
Or just after you double click on WaifuAcademy.exe hold down the shift key for a few seconds.Once the game starts, at the main menu, hold down Shift and G and then try different options available. ANGLE renderer seems a bit better on my system, but try different combinations on yours.
