Slow ships

[Slick]

I recently installed SE4G on a new computer (P4) and the ship movement in the sectors is SLOW! How do I speed this up back to the way it was on my old computer?

Thanks.

First, go to Game Menu--Options--Animate ship movement in system window. Make sure it's off (unchecked).

Second, look for the following entry in Settings.txt:

code:

---

System Ship Movement Delay Milliseconds       := 0

---

Make sure it's set to 0.

Verified that:

System Ship Movement Delay Milliseconds := 0

However, I used to have ships animated in sectors on my old (slower) computer and they zipped along quickly. Now they are way too slow. Any other suggestions?

In the tactical screen select fast tactical combat. Don't ask me why, but I think this will work.

tried fast tactical combat. no good. I remember this topic being covered a long time ago and I seem to remember something about it being linked to CD music. Ring a bell?

Yes, turn off all music and sound effects. On some systems sound effects are real killer.
