Slow Movement

Tabs · #1 March 27th, 2002, 06:14 PM

I've noticed in some games I've played, the ship movement is executed verrrrryyy slllooowly, with a full second pause between each movement point. In other games, ship movement is very rapid, and five ships can all execute their movement in a blink of the eye.

Anyone know what causes this, and how I can make sure the rapid movement is always active? The slow movement is great for strategic purposes, but it really slows down the game.

Thanks!

turn off all sound effects.
It usually helped me.

That is a random effect, it happens to alot of us.

Also try turning CD music off (or on).

I've had very rapid movement for ships when I had something like Windows Media Player up and running. It tends to stop after I close media player so maybe it's linked to graphics/audio.

Winamp doesn't appear to trigger it, so if you want to play music, use that.

Of course, there are a few option settings that also control the ship animation speeds.
