Game stuck on 5fps about thprac HOT 5 CLOSED

A few people have been getting very bad performance issues with the latest thprac. Usually, what developers do to fix performance problems is to use a profiler, a program that monitors how a program runs and tells the developer what code is slowing things down the most. However, not everyone seems to be getting these performance issues. I don't seem to be getting them either.

Since this seems to be an issue that affects some users but not others, I'll need one of the affected users to run the profiler and send me the results. Because I'm not getting these issues, I don't trust the results of my own profiling.

As a result of this, here is what I want you to do:

• Download Luke Stackwalker. This is a profiler that anyone can install and use no matter how their system is set up.
• Run the game with thprac and bring the performance down to 1 fps.
• Open Luke Stackwalker and select "Profile" > "Run"
• Select the name of your Touhou game exe from the list of processes.
• First, wait for the loading bar to fill up, then wait again to let it collect samples (let it do that for however long you want). It's good if the game is slow during the entire time Luke Stackwalker is collecting samples
• Once you stop collecting samples, click on "Save profile data" (which is the third icon in the bar with the icons and looks like a floppy disk) and send me the lsd file you get

from thprac.

lsds.zip
I have the same issue. Here are 2 lsd files done with like stackwalker.
In the first case I sampled the thprac process itself with no touhou game running. Thprac was idling on the game list. It had high CPU usage and was feeling unresponsive but it was working properly. File name "no_game_running.lsd"

In the second case I sampled th08 process with thprac attached. The game was running at 2-3 fps constantly. Main menu demo was playing during sampling. th08 process was having the same CPU usage as thprac process in the first case which is higher than normal. Thprac process in this game had next to none CPU usage.

Other details:
thprac version in the samples is the latest; 2.2.0.0.
The result is the same on older thprac versions. Restarting my pc or thprac didn't work. The same thprac executable was working 2 weeks ago, I got this issue after that 2 week break of not playing. Windows "anti malware executable" was active with high CPU usage the whole time. Th08 works fine without thprac.
system specs:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7300HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.89 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

this was attatched to th13

from thprac.

I've published a new version with a fix. If this issue no longer happens, I'll close the issue

from thprac.

its fixed for me, not sure about others so i wont close for now
