That's odd, the m2000 shouldn't have any issues with the compositing effect. Hmm.. What O.S are you using? Also if this ends up too laggy I recommend asking itch for a refund; if they don't refund you I"ll refund it and you can keep the files to try to optimize it
windows 10. I'll see if something else is at fault. and it's ok about the refund, I caught it on sale lol... I just wanna see if I can get the lag down. I dunno if it's because I've updated a lot of internal files or what. annnd I figured out why composite isn't working I think... files that I don't need anymore are claimed to be missing.
