0.6.26 Laggy Combat

[Aliame1950]

Some sort of input lag during combat. Every input takes like 2 seconds to load. Imp fights especially take too long. Tried playing with combat text options with minimal benefit. Lag is less noticeable in fresh characters if that helps and my theory is that it's dependent on your PC's custom portrait.

I am using the downloadable exe

No console error message due to being a performance issue

Here's my task manager screenshot during imp combat I guess with a 150 kb portrait



Here's my task manager screenshot with a 75 kb portrait



Here's my task manager screenshot with 17 kb portrait (although this one has the least noticeable input lag)

It's almost been 3 years but I thought this was worth a bump since the steam version and downloaded win versions actually run like shit on older machines compared to the browser version. Shouldn't be a thing at all since text based game.

An improvement is noticeable with lower res portraits but in general some game versions would do good with some optimisation.
