Game Speed ?
« on: May 16, 2010, 01:53:38 pm »

I'm still learning this one.. :P

I downloaded the kit from the "Complete and Utter Newby's Guide" (or something similar) and the game ran *blazingly* fast. Dwarves were running across the screen at near light speed!

Now, I've downloaded the new version of DF, and it's slow! Where can I modify the *ingame* speed?

Thanks! :)

The game will always run as fast as it can on your system (only limited by the FPS_CAP in /data/init/init.txt) and the newer version is a little slower. The 40d## versions were also a lot faster due to openGL support that is not yet implemented in the newest version but will be soon.
You can try the the DF accelerator to make it run faster again. If that's still not enough, try turning off weather and temperature in the init file (unless you really need them)
