Whenever I start Stick Online, my FPS is just fine (30)
but after a while of playing, my FPS starts decreasing until about 15 FPS.
I don't have any huge processes on.. and I can play other games (Maplestory, Counterstrike, etc) just fine.
Whats wrong? ):

Programs running in the backround will heavily drag down your fps sometimes depending on computer. If you dont have any windows open, upon your task manager and find things that are processing strongly. Otherwise, restart your computer and try again lol.
Pretty sure he said it 100% clear that he didn't have anything consisting of resource hogging programs running.
Has the game ever run on the computer you are trying to play it on? Don't quite remember if you were an older player playing again, or a completely new player. Does the computer have the minimum requirements(Not quite sure if there is a listing of this anywhere, but it wouldn't be very high compared to the other games you listed above) graphics-wise? Which operating system are you trying to run the game on? I've had some trouble running it through windows7 in the past.

Still wouldn't hurt to double check task manager to see what's going on. Perhaps even to see what the Stick Online process itself is doing (if it's pegging the cpu or something).
Not really 100% sure what to tell you on this one though, as this is not something I have ever really heard of before. The only other thing that comes to mind is perhaps ensure you have reasonably up-to date graphics drivers? What kind of machine are you running this on, is it an older one?
Gold and items over time I guess could if not picked up and in large amounts. But I doubt that's the problem. Also when stick online starts getting slow, up its priority in task master to one higher than it is. See if that helps.
I propose that your using hax. ::)
I'm not sure how you get one from another?

I have played this game before it became donor perffectly fine. I'm pretty sure my computer has the minimum requirements for this game since I've played many other games smoothly on this computer. I'm using Windows Vista Home Basic if that helps.

I'll try to update my graphics drivers and see if my FPS changes. I'm running this game on a 2006 computer, if that helps. If you're asking for specs, I'll gladly supply you with them. x)
I've noticed Stick Online hogs a fairly large amount of CPU and memory. Looks as if it's having memory management problems..I just fix this by restarting the game. (mine also does what yours does after say about 30 minutes or so...)
Try downloading Game Booster, this helped me with FPS lag because I'm running on a netbook, so I have low RAM. Here's the link: http://download.cnet.com/Game-Booster/3000-18512_4-10913645.html (http://download.cnet.com/Game-Booster/3000-18512_4-10913645.html)
This brought me from 15-20 fps to 30 fps. Hope it helps you. :)

fixed
This happens to me after about 2 minutes it makes no sense
*Bump* I also have this problem, even when I restart Stick-Online and raise it's priority and end all unneccessary processes. I believe there is a compatibility issue with Vista. I was just wondering if there would be any way to fix this problem. Thanks! ;)

Blame Game Maker, not me. It would actually be using the upper end of that all the time if I hadn't added in an extra DLL. I suppose I could have it make more frequent calls to it though to clean up all GM's extra crap.
I agree with Meiun. Game Maker sides with slow but easy to use side here.

Debunked. I'm running Vista and I can play and stay at 30fps.
It's weird. Lately I have started to become massive FPS lag after playing like half an hour. I changed no setting nor did I switch computer or stuff... can anyone tell me if that is like the server? Cuz I can't see any probs with my computer

No problems with mine so it can't be server. Must be some hidden problem with yours

What are your computers specs just out of curiosity? A problem like this could not realistically be due to the server in any normal situation anyways. The server could only really have a direct effect on your ping, not how well your computer is able to run the game itself.
well it's my dad's business laptop, so a fast one. Maybe not the best graphics card but I've been playing with it for like half a year now without any problems. Not even during the tourney I fps lagged so I don't really get it...
3gb of ram, duo core 2,5ghz, 32bit os, win7

That is pretty strange. Does anyone else with a non shity/old computer seem to be having this problem as well?

At my dads i have a computer running win7, 64bit os, 6gb of ram, quod core 3.2ghz
I am having the same problem as everyone else.... starts off great then completely ****s itself.
Try it again now with this new small update I just released and tell me if it seems any better. Odds are it probably won't, but I am just curious here really.
I'm having the same problem I can run a lot of higher spec games fine but on stick online I'm getting low FPS.

Also you can see there are no mobs
Goto run->taskmgr, switch to processes tab and sort the list with the highest cpu eater on top.
Check if that process is StickOnline.exe, however, I'd say it is probably your antivirus suite doing some checks.
Disable automatic hdd checks in your antivirus settings if that is the case, else post a screen of the list of processes here.
I can run other games fine it's just stick online.... Also my fps seems to drop when I type something into chat in-game and sometimes randomly even if I don't type anything but..... When I do type something my fps drops down to 15... from 30.

memory consumption looks normal, so it definitly is your cpu creating the problem. What cpu do you have installed in your comp?
Could also be the 64bit os that is creating the problem, sometimes gamemaker games that are created in 7 and lower make difficulties in 64bit OS's, allthough I think Meiun could best help out with this issue.
