I recently travelled and switched from developing on my computer to my gaming laptop
But im having a major issue with both roblox and the roblox studio where computer performs extremly poorly on both. 18 FPS! in an empty baseplate it seems to be capped to this in other games too i’ve tried most of the main page games
Im running windows 11 so i tried disabling full screen optimization from task manager
Running roblox as administrator
Added the roblox app to the graphics settings and set it to high performance
Reinstalled my drivers and made sure they’re updated
I’ve tried basically everything i can’t seem to figure out why it performs so poorly
Try closing all applications (including background apps) except roblox and see how your system performs on task manager. We want to make sure if it really is your laptop’s specs or something else.
I am aware this is an old post, but I couldn’t find any other posts with this answer that worked for me so well, but here’s the first thing I’d try:
If you’re sure that this is not a hardware issue, like your GPU is getting old or anything like that, then from what I’ve experienced is that it’s likely Studio choosing the wrong renderer, (But changing your renderer may still work if it is a hardware issue). Here’s how you change that:
In Studio, at the top of your screen, click ‘File’ → ‘Studio Settings’ (or press Alt + S)
On the left of the new pop-up, find the ‘Rendering’ tab
In ‘General’ find the ‘Graphics Mode’ dropdown.
There will be a couple different renderes listed (e.g., ‘Direct3D11’, ‘OpenGL’, and ‘Vulkan’). The renderer you need is highly dependent on your hardware and OS, but in a nutshell, Direct3D11 is optimized for windows, Vulkan is easier on CPUs (from what I’ve read), and OpenGL is highly compatible and established. However, I suggest trying to brute force it–switch the mode, restart Studio, and see which renderer offers the best performance.
