I have a very high grade pc one that's just a step below the ultimate pc I haven't seen this issue pop up for me in the slightest but i understand where you are coming from in the sense that it does lag because i have similar issues with other renpy games that have been fully completed as of recently, so that being said i do believe it might just be an issue with newer versions of renpy's software.

Renpy isn't the best at playing videos, and it uses software decoding instead of hardware like a normal video player like VLC. So the CPU usage is really high while they're playing in the game. And it seems like the newest version of Renpy made that usage go up a little bit more. The game plays fine on my system but I have heard this issue from a couple of people so I understand.

Must be because of that then. The rest of my PC is pretty good but my CPU is a bit average, so that may be why it lags.

Does it cost the renpy devs to fix this kinda thing? 😭

that's likely why. just looked. my CPU is an i3-1005G1, running at 1.2ghz. definitely old, and i think it's basically factory scrap. hoping to get a better one here soon.
