Performance issues with Tmodloader
Hey, so i am playing terraria with my friend on a server hosted by Nodecraft. We are playing with quite a few mods and for some reason my computer completely lags out when we are fighting any boss with a bunch of projectiles. Now I have internet speeds of 40mbs down and 7 up, and my computer specs are the following:
Device name MSI
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 155H 3.80 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)

Product ID 00342-21170-64625-AAOEM
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
My friend is using the following:

256GB SSD storage

Now his computer his computer runs fine but mine goes down to essentially slideshow frames. Now this is where it gets interesting I have heard that laptops with Nvidia graphics cards only use integrated graphics on tmodloader, and i have changed those settings in my nvidia control panel, but this is where it gets wierd, My gpu always caps out at 30% when the game is open, and it only ever really uses the gpu truly when i am outside of the game, as soon as i alt tab into the game I'm getting around 10% - 20% and outside it uses all of the 30% why is this happening please help :tragedy:

Are you experiencing FPS drops, low FPS, or laggy singleplayer gameplay?
DirectX on Windows may not be working properly and might be causing these issues.
Try using OpenGL using the launch argument in Steam as shown here: https://gyazo.com/a572f60f32424ac1bdbdebb68ead5043

Honestly you could aleviate this somewhat by increasing netdot's processor elevation in task manager
1. Open task manager
2. Right click '.NET Host', then click 'go to details'
3. under 'Details', right click 'dotnet.exe', then click 'Set Priority' and set it to High, or Real Time.
