Differencies between a patch and a max application

Hi all, i'm wondering if there's something happening which I don't know that can change if I transform my patch into an application. It happens to me that something which works on a patch needs to be modified on the app. Especially time-related things like metro. Is that right?
What else can behave differently while transforming a patch into an app?
Thanks a lot!

For the most part no, if you build a patch into an app everything should function the same. Make sure you have the dsp options (like vector size and audio interrupt) configured as normal which could be causing your changes. The only thing I know of which definitely causes confusion when building an app is the change from "path" to [thispatcher] in a patch to "; max sendapppath somename" to [r somename] in an application.
