    during which particular action? during events that don't normally cause it to lag?

    because when there's a lot of particles on screen, it tends to bog down anyone's proccessor.

    No matter what it just sutters even with no particles at all.

    The stuttering isn't severe but it's getting annoying as it makes me struggle to get certian elements.

    It's probably 3.25 GB usable because your system needs to use a part of it.

    Ok back on topic: Did you try re-downloading? Whats your fps? Try going to the console (press ~) and type in tpt.setfpscap(1000) 

    Whats your CPU usage on the powder toy (Use task manager)

    TPT only uses about 60 or 100MB of RAM, and only a single CPU core. I can't imagine why the game would ever stutter ... unless you have a bad computer or something else is already using 100% CPU

     Only thing is, i don't have a bad PC, and nothing ever uses 100% of my CPU (According to task manager)

    Tried re-downloading? Did you download it from this site?
