Very impatient dates bug
jsalemi:
Yea; I noticed even under XP that with a dual core the #3 speed is lightning fast. I do have the dual core fixes in, but I haven't tried using forcecore to restrict the came to one core yet to see if that makes a difference.
McNum:
I wonder if the speed settings are hackable? If they are, where do I go look for it?
If I could lock Speed 3 at 4x normal speed or similar that would be plenty and the game should be able to keep up.
jsalemi:
Forcecore didn't make much of a difference -- speed 3 is still lightning fast. 1 and 2 are ok -- it's just 3 that takes off like a jack rabbit.
McNum:
Well, considering that Nightlife has a 1GHz Pentium 3 as a minimum requirement, a 2.6 Core2Duo is at least 5.2 times faster than what Nightlife was made to run on and that's before counting the improvements made in both the P4 and Core2Duo architecture. Nightlife is getting speeds it just cannot handle and has about 8 times the RAM it needs.
If that doesn't screw up the game just a little, I'd be surprised.
jsalemi:
Yea, but you'd think that by at least this time, EAxis would be accounting for the proliferation of duo and quad processors; even if they don't make use of multiple cores in the game, they could at least notice the system clock and compensate for it. It shouldn't be hard, but then, this IS EAxis we're talking about.
I have this sneaking suspicion that the developers are still working on 2.8GHz Pentium 4s with a gig of RAM, and don't have a clue what it's like to run the game on a modern machine. :P
