So... A Lot Of Testing Lately...

So... After The Release Of v1.5 Of From The Shadows Demo... I Have Been Testing The Mobile Version A Lot! I Tested The Game On My 2022 Model Phone And On My 2017 Model Tablet. The Results Of The Games Performance On The Two Devices We're Different. My Phone Ran The Game Twice As Fast Then My PC And My Tablet Ran It The Same Speed As My PC... What Was The Cause Of This? Apparently I Had To Turn Off The V-Sync Of The Game. This Is Where I Did A Second Test To My Two Mobile Devices. This Time, My Phone Ran The Game The Same Speed As My PC! Yay... But Now My Tablet Ran The Game Extremely Slow... Boo! So, The Battle Wasn't Over Yet. I Originally Made The Game Run In 120fps (I Don't Know Why I Did That For My First Game). I Nerfed The Fps For The Mobile Version And Now The Mobile Version Of The Game Runs In 60fps. Had To Do Some Other Nerfing With Some Code Cuz Of This Decision. I Also Enabled Something Called "Machine-Independent Speed." According To The Archives Of The Clickteam Fusion Contents, Machine-Independent Speed Allows The Application To Maintain The Speed Of The Runtime On Slower Machines. This Makes The Runtime Skip The Display Of The Frame When It Is Not Running At The Given Frame Rate. As Display Operations Are Usually The More Time-Consuming Ones, This Allows The Application To Keep It's Frame Rate Even On Slower Machines. This Basically Means The Application Will Run On The Frame Rate You've Given It And Will Ignore The Frame Rate Your Current Mobile Device Uses. Now, It Was My Final Test To See If Any Of These Methods Worked And Behold... I Did It!! Both Devices Has The Same Performance And Speed As The PC Version, Despite The Mobile Version Now Runs In 60fps. So... Yeah. Alot Of Testing And I'm Very Happy To Know It's Playable On Newer And Older Mobile Devices. Some Devices Might Experience Slight Lag, But It's The Best I Can Do. Hope You Guys And Galls Enjoy The Demo And More Lights Out Content Coming Soon ;)
