Default slow animation

when playing and mostly while moving vehicles and firing weapons, the vehicles studder across the move area, and the animation of missles and machine gun or cannon fire is very slow, what section or what do I do to speed this up!
I have checked to see if I had any open programs and defraged my computer!

Same problem here. Slow animation, stuttering animation and sound.

Default Re: slow animation

Sorry, I lied...
Actually, I simply forgot there IS a way to fiddle with the animation speeds.

open "\Game Data\Camogame.ini" and look for the follwing entries:
----------------------------------------------------
[graphics]
; graphics timings

; minimum graph delay (in milliseconds) between frames
; set to 0 to pump out graphics as fast as your CPU can handle,
; try larger numbers to slow down very fast CPU/GFX cards
Graphdelay=40

;How much to wait per hex a unit moves (Milliseconds)
UnitMoveDelay=50
---------------------------------------------------

Set both to 4 or 5 resp. and watch the action fly by.

On the other hand, this shouldn't be necessary on any decent machine, so I wonder what the real culprit is...

concerning DxDiag - I need the "whole thing"
.. not only the first 20 lines or so. It should generate a multiple-page txt file with lots of info about hardware and drivers ...

As a matter of interest - what tweak worked for you?

(After a few days here there will likely be a sticky post with helpful stuff gleaned from the first few days "in the trenches" as it were !

Cheers

Well that was it, I had to change it from 0 to about 20 and I had to jump behind the couch cause it came to fast, but its a personal preference you just have to find it, so who ever has this problem follow these steps
