so i have a skill in my game prototype 13 that launches a fireblast in front of you, a short trail is created behind it by creating active objects that are destroyed when their animation is finished. now, ive never personally encountered the issue, but my little brother has on his laptop, but no one else has, and its just that skill. nothing else using the same method causes lag or anything. he said if he tries to use it too many times it will crash the game as well. any idea guys?

Old intel express graphic chipset? Buggy graphics card/chipset drivers? DirectX problems? It's anybody's guess with no information.

Any chance your fire attack is set to shift and sticky keys keeps popping up?

Hi! Are you using any controller extensions? I had a hell of a time dealing with random slowdowns caused by old controller extensions.

Gosh I can't remember which extension I was using that caused the slowdown I had. I think it was one of the old XNA/Xbox 360 controller ones. Since then I've gone back to Joystick2 and that seems to work for people.

(btw just a little tip! Instead of destroying an object when the animation finishes, instead have a value that always adds a value (like 1 or 0.1), and set the frame to be that value. When the value>the number of frames destroy it. Just a bit more reliable)

i got a couple of ideas but they aren't real great
try checking machine independent speed in the game settings.
that'll sacrifice frames for synchronization...
also try using debug to find the amount of memory being used.
