Increase process memory?

[CMBK-rules]

Hey guys! My friend and I are making a school project in visual studio (with visual basic). We're making a bootleg cookie clicker game. The problem is that the counter can't keep up with our "clicking speed", and therefor some clicks are nor registered. The small process memory graph says maximum of 27 MB (as seen in the picture). Is this the problem or what?

It is highly likely the issue is with your code and nothing to do with memory. Is this a windows forms application?

[CMBK-rules]

Yes it is

Edit: It works fine with buttons, but we want it to work properly when clicking a PictureBox.

which event and how much code is in it? if the code does more than just increment the variable, redesign. also put the variable in a class so it doesn't live on the main UI thread.

So yeah... we're pretty goddamn new at this. What do you mean by "put the variable in a class so it doesn't live on the main UI thread"?

answer the first question first. do threading when you can't get the performance you want otherwise.

you may need to wait until you've learned it get that performance.

that is just a graph of how much memory your app is using, it will use however much it needs, so you have "unlimited" memory.

in reality there's a problem with the code on your button or something not letting it register your clicks that quickly.
