repeated small pauses makes input sluggish since 7.4.1, why?[solved]

[errowr]

I've noticed that repeated small pauses make interaction sluggish starting from renpy version 7.4.1 In my example below you sometimes have to press the button several times before it will register. And that's with pauses of just 0.01 It gets worse the shorter the pauses are.

Renpy version 7.4.0 and below seem to not have this problem. Or at least not nearly as much.

I was looking up incompatibility changes and found that something was done to the pause command and adding "define config.pause_with_transition = True" should revert it to the old way, but that doesn't seem to help.

So is this just something I should get used to or is there some sort of setting which can be changed to overcome sluggish input when using a lot of small pauses in succession?


label start:

label test_it:

show screen pushtostop
$ renpy.pause(0.01)
show text "1"
$ number = '1'
$ renpy.pause(0.01)
show text "2"
$ number = '2'
$ renpy.pause(0.01)
show text "3"
$ number = '3'
$ renpy.pause(0.01)
show text "4"
$ number = '4'
$ renpy.pause(0.01)
show text "5"
$ number = '5'

jump test_it

screen pushtostop:
textbutton "push" xpos 600 ypos 300 action [Hide("pushtostop"),Jump("stopit")]

label stopit:
"You stopped at [number]"
jump test_it

Short pauses like that - less than a frame - are a bad idea. This is a good place for a DynamicDIsplayable, or a creator-defined displayable.

Thanks a lot for your reply. The script I included was just to illustrate my question since the same script didn't cause problems in older Renpy versions.

Knowing that short pauses such as in my script are simply a bad idea is good to know going forward from now.
