Hello Scratchers. Suddenly, when I was testing out a new project, Scratch seemed to run ten times slower. Why is this so?

Hello Scratcher. This is 99% most likely due to your code. It would help us understand what the problem is if you told what project had this problem. Give a link to it. Even if it's unshared. Thanks.

Are you running this project with a school/work sign in? Are there any force-installed extensions?
What is your computer's specs? What browser do you use?(press the world icon between scratchblocks and emojies)

I am doing part 2 of @Griffpatch's Lemonoid Invansion game

While testing this happened

Share a link to the project then - you would've made a mistake while following the tutorial.

K. The link is here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/595720201/

Yep it's your mistake. In the “Enemy” sprite, right click on this custom block and press “edit”


then toggle “Run without screen refresh” and press “OK”. It shouldn't lag anymore.

bump to see if this is fixed.

not fixed….cause the

define Starting Orders :: pink

is already run without scrn refresh

Yes, it works for me. Just go to the Enemy sprite, and in the “Starting Orders” custom block DESELECT the “Run without Screen refresh” toggle, like this:

Sorry I'm using dark mode but the instructions are the same

The reason why is because “Run without screen refresh” tells Scratch to stop showing new things on the screen until the script is done. Simple, right? But since your custom block has a forever loop in it, Scratch is just endlessly waiting but since it is a Forever loop your custom block will never end which means that the display won't change which makes it laggy.
