Has anyone else noticed this and found a solution?

Hi,

I think you have to give us a little more to go on… 😊 Can you provide a minimal code example where `frameCount` is not working as you expect?

console.log(frameCount) returns 0 consistently. I wish there was more…

I’m using an asynchronous GUI function that circumvented the draw() loop so frameCount was not firing. I’ll leave this here in case it’s of any use.
