Months ago I encoutered no problem, everything ran smoothly without any change in setting, but now when I play in borderless or full screen, somehow the FPS decrease and it make my game become somthing like slow motion, I don't know why and how to fix this issue. I turn off everything that is not necessary but still encouter this annoying problem, I also tried to find out if this problem come from my laptop, but I didn't get any idea. Anyone can help me ?

You probably downloaded/ updated something that is now taking more resources.

1. You probably haven't updated the drivers of your graphic card, so that's why you can't play in X resolution.

2. You will have to format your PC (maybe because it has happened a lot of time since you formated it).

3. Defragment your hard disk.

4. Try changing between OpenGL or DirectX.

5. Try looking at YouTube for how to get better performance at Windows, they will tell you to reduce some unwanted files and to disable other things.

6. Check your Frame limiter. If it's Vsync'd, that's probably where the problem is.

7. Close any other programs you are not using.

Good luck!

Well running full screen IS a bigger resolution than windowed so it's a bit more taxing.. Slow motion does seem unusual though. It doesn't sound like regular lag.

Yeah, I mean exactly what I said: slow motion, meanwhile I noticed that FPS decreased drastically and everything on the whole screen turned into shit

I don't even know why and how it became like that

You probably have another application drawing on top of the osu! window. Make sure this isn't the case. Also update your graphics drivers.

Do not format your PC, defragment, or any of the other shit advice above.
