    I don't understand.
    Just a couple of hours ago I was playing TPT with 60-61 FPS.
    But now, whenever I start it it goes to ~20 FPS.
    I have a pretty capable PC, not the best by any means, but not slow enough to be ~20 FPS.
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64
    Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.27GHz
    4GB RAM DDR2, @800MHz
    Intel GMA X4500MHD
    (not the best, I know. Please don't put your specs in just for bragging if you have a better machine. I don't care).
    Please help. I installed DirectX 11 because they said it would take it, but it slowed everything to a screeching halt so I tried to downgrade it, how? I have tried every sse* and have tried to redownload it but still ~20 FPS.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    if there are no other programs running and its still the same FPS then restart ur computer

    Actually just restart PT, sometimes leaving it running lags it down a bit.

    Check the priority of the program.
