Um, this wasn't delta time either.

oops.

Edit: further testing reveals it to be a problem with NxWindowed = 2

I tried those, and none of them changed anything. After inspecting base.rte a little, I noticed that its index.ini does not IncludeFile Settings.ini, which is probably the reason my changes to it did not affect the game at all.

Little help here?

Run CC in Administrator mode, that helped me.

Probably due to Vista's program folder virtualization.

Really skeptical about command O being the timescale hotkey. Is there a way to do it in the terminal?

Edit: Would be very useful because it seems as if I accidentally did something mid-game which made the game start running like a crappy gif.
It's REALLY slow

Yeah, sounds like you turned timescale off

Better yet, just move it to your desktop, one of the few places that you actually own. no admin rights required.


should work. replace true with false to turn it off. if it doesnt, try 1 and 0.

Wow... I never knew CC was supposed to run that fast... Thanks.

hm.
i was messing around with the settings i think.
or i was playing
then when i relaunched the game. i noticed the app was missing from the dock even though it is open

wtf happened?

Geti, I would think that you should mention it's always a good idea to update drivers.

Especially the dual-core timing issue.

shall do. it helped on my laptop quite a lot, so i might as well put it in.

You windowed it.

Please don't quote huge blocks of stuff for a three word reply. Actually just don't quote huge blocks of stuff.

EDIT: Woops, didn't realize how big that was.

Do you know how to get 400:300 without zooming in?

Making Mac users everywhere look like retards. Thanks a lot, bub.

I feel silly for asking this, but your post completely confuses me, Geti.
What the hell do you mean with all the DeltaTime crap? Just to fiddle around I set it at random things, and .025 seems to make it less laggy/playable for me, but I honestly have no idea what is happening. I then tested at .001 and it seems to be in slo-mo/bullet time constantly.
When you say


What do you mean by those 45/40/35 FPS's? Does the game somehow force it to run constantly at that FPS, or the cap is that, or what...? My friend says it's impossible to change the amount of time taken to render a frame like that, because then you could set it so it takes 0 seconds, then get an "infinite" FPS. I can definitely see where he got that. I tried to set it at 0 for experimentation but I just got a black screen.
Does it force-change how fast CC runs or something?
