Ok well I have 2 problems;
First, Whenever I play cs2d, my steady fps rate is 49. For a second or two it goes to 50, but when I play it's usually 49. I've heard that maybe its because I run on windows xp but idk really.

Second, when I play fullscreen, the game doesnt fit my moniter right. There is black on the top of my monitor and on the left, and parts of the bottom & right get cut off. On other games I play this doesnt happen

I just need to know if/how i can fix these

that with the fps is normal and the second, too(graphic card?)

The FPS is like that for everyone with good computers. About the graphic - maybe your resolution is weird and 640x480 can't properly be magnified to fit your screen entirely - I dunno.

are you useing a widescreen?

I do have a wide screen. And people I talk to have 50 so idk

windows xp gives 49 cuz cs2d is weird.

On my uncles Toshiba laptop I changed from openGL to Directx and it fitted fuly, but the pixels blur a bit, so I suggest ceeping small window mode.

When I ran it in XP it was 49, Win7 = 50 fps...

Try lowering your resolution and changing between opengl&directx.

your fps in CS2D can go from 49-51 even when the game runs perfectly. there is absolutely nothing to worry about. it's 100% okay

Is it possible to go above the framerate? I want it to be like quake 1000 FPS!!!

Oh and OpenGL lags for me, Directx ftw

if i were a developer i would want my game to have the same maximum fps regardless of operating system... lol oh well

If I made cs2d I would have added support to max frame rate--some people like high fps

@previous 3 comments: lol. good thing that I'm the developer.

1000 fps or 50.. no fucking difference. only people with a small penis need super high fps. fact.

Yeah human eye is ~25-29 fps, so 50 should be fine. When there are many explosions it does lower...I don't know why, my computer is awesome! I can run Crysis 2 FULL GRAPHICS and when it's a max server with many people spamming grenades my frame rate doesn't even lower.

So is it cs2d's optimization? or is it blitz's engine?

both actually.
BlitzMax is very slow when it comes to drawing MANY images. I would have to go to a lower level (directly using OpenGL/DX) to optimize this - and I'll not do that.

yeah optimizing down to the core seems very difficult, opengl naturally lags on windows I'm not sure why D=
