Description

Game Name?
A Boy and His Blob

Game ID?
SBLE5G

MD5 Hash?
b836e06ab7c01e2b8b61394e34bdb782

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Failing to get 100% speed on the first main level of the game, even with a decent spec PC (Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 3080) and no enhancements enabled. Able to get full speed in smaller levels of the game, but only 67-68 FPS when unlocked. For a basic 2D game, it certainly seems like there's been a regression.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Play the first minute of the game, entering the forest level.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
Tested on 5.0.14731 (latest dev) with both Vulkan and DX12 backends.

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
No - 5.0 (stable) runs at a full 100% speed in both OGL and DX12 backends, boosting to 150fps (250% speed) when uncapped.

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version?
Will try to bisect in further comments

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

  • Ryzen 5 3600
  • GTX 3080
  • Windows 10 21H1

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue?
