Hello, i was playing AtC BB, and i found some lag issues. I know that you can do little to nothing, but i wanna ask a question to optimize my experience. I had some lag issues here and there that didn't really bother me. The game wasn't smooth but it was playable, at 20-30 FPS which could do better, but im fine with it. When i was trying to beat Larry's gym, it was 22 FPS before i entered the main area or the Berry section, but when i got there, the game was running on 13 FPS. I did manage to beat it [with ace B)] and went through the game until i reached the horrific depths of Sandy's treedome. the terrain was messy, even when i put everything on high and post-processing on max. My question is: do i have to buy a better PC, or i can just buy a graphics card to fix my problems? or maybe there's something else i can fix it with? Last thing i wanted to mention is that on max graphics, it did work a whopping 2 times, but the other like 20 no such luck, and in one of the working cases, after the terrain was good and put my graphics back to easy, for lag-free experience and it changed it back and the terrain went back to the buggy one. Thanks and love your game
I’ve been wanting to play the game again as of late, so I decided to try and pay it a visit. However, whenever I opened the game, it would crash less than a minute in. I’m unsure why, because I have the requirements down-pat and I’m using the latest version of WinRAR. Am I doing something else wrong, or is it simply a glitch? Please respond if you can!
Update (8/9/23): I figured out how to fix the crashing glitch. I just have to turn off my internet before going on the game. The glitch seems to only occur when you open the game with internet on, because I had it off when I opened it but when I turned it on again after a little while it didn’t crash.
It's possible your save file might've gotten corrupted. Go into your Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames folder and delete the .sav file. After relaunching the game, it should create a fresh save file and hopefully fix the issue.
Hey Dave Microwaves Games, I've ripped 2 assets from the game (which I won't be telling how to all those comment readers!). The assets I ripped are Jellian Pearl and Mr. Krabs Arm. I hope this doesn't bother you at all, I plan to import the meshes to Roblox Studio for a fan game, yes, I will be remaking the bones in the mesh and remaking the animations. If you want me to take the game down or stop working on it, I will do so without hesitation.  I will absolutely be giving credit to you since I am not the one who originally made the meshes. Thank you, also I beat the game and loved it! 
sorry for the super late reply but i wont tell anyone how because I don't think that dave would want tons of people using his assets, 1 is already enough.
I don't want to use the assets for any kind of game. I want to use these because I want to take clear images of the models. There's a wiki about Around The Clock at Bikini Bottom on Fandom, it's a small community. For a lot of characters, people have had to use screenshots and I'd love to be able to get clear images of the characters for the wiki. Please tell me how you did this.
Thank you. :) I'm confused though, it works and I can view models but it says they have no colors and displays them like this. Also, I can't convert the .pskx file to anything to put in any other model software, and no matter what I click, the models either look like this or they're pitch black and I can't find any tutorials on how to fix this.
Some newer graphics cards seem to run into an issue that causes certain UE4 games to crash. The only solution at the moment is to disconnect from your internet before launching the game and it shouldn't crash anymore. You'll likely need to do this each time you launch the game, sorry! ;w;
hey Dave if you ever think you have the time could you please bring back the 32 bit version so me and others with crappy computers can experience this great game
hi dave, im on windows 11, and everytime I go into the game to load it, its crashs. please give me any solutions. and by the way, where did you get this text? it looks very cool.
From what I've heard, on rare occasions Windows 11 seems to have compatibility issues with Unreal Engine games at the moment. One solution that's helped some folks with crashing issues is turning off your internet on your PC and then launching the game. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I don't know what could be causing the game to crash, other than compatibility issues with Windows 11. D:
Hi Dave! How is It going? I have another problem with the Game and is that when un fighting with Patrick in his rock the Game justo start crashing slowly and then the Game stops and It taje me out how can i fix It?
Dave, Please help whenever I launch the game it will just crash at the beginning cutsene or at any cutsene in the game, it will also crash after around thirty seconds of idle please help!
Unfortunately I'm not sure what would be causing the game to crash there. One thing you can try is disconnecting from your internet and then launch the game. Apparently that's worked for a few folks.
Dave, help please. My sound for the game randomly stopped working. The optional intro you can listen to on the title screen works but no other sounds work, please help. ):
I would love to have added language support to Around the Clock, but unfortunately I am no longer updating the game with any new content. Perhaps future games of mine will support Spanish and many more languages if I can get the opportunity to do so.
I'm curious to think about how you did to make a game full of references to the series, including secrets or other things, or even sound effects, like jumping spongebob. It's a very well done project
Hi Dave! I know i ask so much sorry😔😔 but can you do the Game on android?because in mi pc is going at 2 fps and on my phone even un high graphics rins the Game at 60 fps please is the last i want i want to enjoy your creation i follow ir Since first demo came😔😔😭😭
It's possible your save file might've gotten corrupted. Go into your Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames folder and delete the .sav file. After relaunching the game, it should create a fresh save file and hopefully fix the issue. You will unfortunately lose your progress if you had any, so if you want to back up your save file first before deleting in case this fix doesn't work, you can do so. But the game should function properly now after deleting your save manually and starting a newgame.
hey Dave I've tried downloading this game i have 4 gb of storage left but it still doesn't let me play saying not enough space on the disk and also do I need to have winrar to download this game?
Hey dave listen i love around the clock at bikni bottem heck i watch every youtuber play it and hoping i could play it but when i opened it with the instructions you left on this page and this is what happend eveerything was running smoothly intill after it said snowmistle studios it toke me to a dark screen and then it toke me to my desktop so i thing it crash if you could tell me how to open it i would be happy.ps:i am a big fan of your games and i really want to play this how you see this message thx.Cameronx
Okay, I'm back to say, that logging in to this game is hard and trash. Well I know your game is Awesome Dave, but I 100% want to play, Did I play, NO! two choices though, hack me in the game, Or I'll say your game is very...very...bad. I hope you're ashamed of yourself! just ####### log ME IN!
Because when I enter the game it says as if I have restarted everything (I just have to press new game) but it just does nothing when I touch it, and it just freezes
The only PROBLEM is that when im Extracting it something says ATB.WindowsNoEditor and then it takes soooo long to finish and then storage full. What's the POINT of"ATB.WindowsNoEditor??

Glad to hear you enjoyed AtC! I respect you asking permission first, you're allowed to do what you wanna do with em' in Roblox. Have fun!
Thank you so much! I will post some of the progress of the game on YouTube so others can see.
How's the game going?
I ended up stopping working on it but heres what it was for the most part.
Why won't you tell anyone how? I've been wanting to know how to extract models from this game since forever.
sorry for the super late reply but i wont tell anyone how because I don't think that dave would want tons of people using his assets, 1 is already enough.
I don't want to use the assets for any kind of game. I want to use these because I want to take clear images of the models.

For a lot of characters, people have had to use screenshots and I'd love to be able to get clear images of the characters for the wiki. Please tell me how you did this.
i think its called UEViewer (unreal engine viewer), its used to rip assets, there are some tutorials online on how to use it
Thank you. :) I'm confused though, it works and I can view models but it says they have no colors and displays them like this. Also, I can't convert the .pskx file to anything to put in any other model software, and no matter what I click, the models either look like this or they're pitch black and I can't find any tutorials on how to fix this.
every time I try to run the game right after the intro it crashes
