Odd occurence - Sagepone - 06-22-2019
When I start Wind Waker, as to be expected on a low end laptop, it hovers around 16-25 fps. I've checked the system requirements and I'm bordering on the minimum, however I know it can be ran at a constant 30 fps. And the reason I know this is because I closed the laptop to move it while on Windfall Island, having a constant 20 fps, but upon opening the laptop back up, it ran flawlessly at 30 fps for at the most 2 minutes, and yes, this is reproducible, and if needed I can provide video evidence of this happening. I'm even running it on the lowest settings possible, not that I know if that's a part of it. Now here is the question I actually want to ask, what about closing my laptop would remotely have ANY effect on it running at 100% speed?
The laptop is an Intel core i-3 4000m CPU @2.4/2.39ghz with 9.72gig of RAM usable, if you needed to know that.

Could be the laptop thermals after having been closed for a while. Two minutes is plenty of time for the cpu to heat up and start throttling.

It could.very well be the thermal. The thing about that, I close it just long enough for the game's music to stop (no more than 10 seconds) and then it's fine for a small amount of time.

Im apologize, I hadn't seen the pending approval message the first time. That's on me, and it won't happen again! (I'm new here, heh)
