Mouse cursor lags in fullscreen, any way to reduce it?

[Tage]

It takes more work to render in fullscreen I'm assuming. Is there a way to minimize the cursor lag? At all? lol

Edit: That is - other than using 640x480 resolution, which would probably work wonders. I'm trying to use 800x600 resolution. But I may settle for 640x480 if there is no other way.

Are you using an image cursor? Not using one can help, as the image cursor isn't hardware accelerated. Other than that, there's not much you can do.

It really shouldn't take any more work to render in fullscreen, as the same number of pixels are being pushed to the screen, either way.

Hm... Another question: Is it lagging on all screens, or just screens with alot of buttons on them, like the main menu and the game menu?

[Tage]

Just menus, and I don't have a special cursor. I guess I should consider not using fullscreen more than anything else, lol. I just always felt having other windows on the screen pulled me away from the story. It's not too bad.

The game and main menus may lag a bit. I probably need to do something to make hover support more efficient.

I put a lot of effort into optimizing the performance of the visual novel proper, and not so much into optimizing the menus, buttons, etc. This is on the grounds that a user will spend alot of time interacting with the game story, and less time working with the menus.

Hint, hint.

lol, well, I like nice menus, so I guess I'm being a little biased...but oh well, it's my game hehe...but, I'll probably not use fullscreen anyway since the music gets crackly when I do put it in fullscreen.
