Title: Geoscape/interceptor delay
Post by: Echelon117 on September 18, 2013, 12:36:17 pm

Hi,

I've been searching these forums to see if anyone else has asked the same as me, but couldn't find anything.

So, after playing UFO Extender for so long I am used to the smooth flowing pace of the game from the way the menu's open up to the fluidity of the UFO interceptions.

OpenXcom does feel a little choppy in some parts and the UFO interceptions are extremely slow. Does anyone know a way around this or if this is something to be fixed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated from anyone.

Kind regards

Wtf... somehow my post replied to another thread sorry.

As for this I don't really have any problem with the flow of the game or interceptions, can you clarify?

Basically, when intercepting a UFO the UFO moves towards the interceptor VERY slowly. The missiles move towards the UFO VERY slowly.

It's almost as if there is a delay or a CPU slower applied, the way the old DosBox version worked. I just want it to flow as smooth and fast as UFO extender, which runs perfectly

OpenXcom animations run at a fixed speed, not CPU-based. However I gauge it by how the original runs on Dosbox, UFO Extender looks like it runs twice as fast.

I'll probably just throw in a speed setting at some point since this seems to come up a lot.
