The same thing is happening to me. I tried it on both of the available versions of the game. I have tried restarting my computer and re-downloading the game multiple times. Computer specs are as follows:
Processor: Intel I7-3770 3.4 GHz
GPU: AMD R8 280X 6GB
Ram: 8GB
If you need anything else let me know.
Don't have any antivirus software installed. Disabled windows firewall. Deleted game and all saves (Including Folder in App Data). Re-downloaded the gave (A-6). Ran as Administrator. Still lagged. Takes about 15-30 seconds after loading in any save to start lagging but afterwards it happens around every 10 seconds and "freezes for about 1.5 seconds. Ram usage was around 2.5 GB, idk if that's normal or not.
Having similar lag issues when a few items pile up near forges. Not many items though.
Processor: AMD FX-8320 3.0GHz
GPU: 2x AMD 5770HD 2GB
Ram: 8GB
Tried restarting with administrator, was better, but I suspect it has something the do with the game running for awhile. Although CPU isn't particularly high at 5%.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know the new codebase is MUCH more efficient in the new Steam version. I tried to go back to the demo and make some of the code more efficient but at this point it's a mess and it will take me forever.
I realize where most of the mistakes I made are, though. Since I had to make the original game in just 2 weeks for a jam, I made a lot of design choices that were implemented in just straight out weird ways. Resources (the little floating pick ups) most noticeably... Try to have as few as possible of those on the map at the same time!
For those that have instant lag no matter what they do as soon as they fire up the game. Does that happen with other GameMaker made games that you know of?
I did just double check and the lag starts at about the 12-13 second mark and lasts for about 1-2 seconds. The lag reoccurs for the same length of time every 5-8 seconds after that. This was all before I mined anything. I also downloaded a different GameMaker game and there was no lag. But a steam version sounds promising. Do you have any ideas for a standard/Early Access release date?
