If the lag spike is just the HP and exp bars decreasing/increasing, that’s how the software the game was made with works
If you’re using any 3D sprite pack, that’s been known to cause lag for quite a few people. Try playing with just the default download.
If you’re not using any 3D sprite pack and you were referring to lag in game play in general, try the following.
- redownloading the core.
- Selecting
Reduce Screen Flickering
option when you pressFn
+F1
(from the previous screenshot that Cow posted), turning off the battle effects in options, deselecting smooth mode etc,. Basically playing with lowest graphics settings. - Play around with the different text speed as well as turbo speed in the options.
The above worked only for one or two people, most people who reported lag(around 20 people) despite having good computers couldn’t find a solution
