Hi,

Try to adjust the animation level located in the preference screen.


cheers,

Same problem here. Slow animation, stuttering animation and sound.
Dxdiag sys info is:

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 ...

im having the same problem with slow animation speed and sound.

Edited: moved the dxdiag result as attachment

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 !

I like a short message delay so that action is fast and furious,fast scroll speed and a relatively fast unit movement speed...see attachment for the settings that i have ...regards MD

Have you set message delay to the minimum in the preferences screen as well?
