Tundra Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Hi all,I've had this game for years and I have just recently set up a LAN, both machines are the same spec, 2.6 AMD xp, 1024 DDR RAM, ATI 9800pro. They are linked through a standard Ethernet cross over cable and we (my brother and I) can play both Tiberian Sun and Redalert 2 with no problems. When ever we run Emperor though we cannot slow the game down, it's constantly set at the highest speed setting even when we change it in the options menu it doesn't effect the ingame speed. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Hmm, does this also happen in single player? Or just in multi? Have you turned the game speed completely down to slowest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tundra Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 Yeah I've tried to slow it down to the slowest but it still stays at top speed, this only happens on LAN multi, the internet multi is fine so is the single player. I have all the lastest drivers including Direct x 9.0b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Do you also have the 1.09 patch for emperor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tundra Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention that. It's fully patched to 1.09. I can't see why it's happening, I'm not prepared to reinstall either as I don't think that will solve the problem, my brothers version (which is fully patched) is a recent installation anyway.

Gobalopper Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I seem to remember this being a problem way long ago when the game was first released... if I remember correctly there was no way to change game speed in LAN games and it wasn't fixed in any of the patches.You could try playing over the internet instead of the LAN and see if that helps. I know its a bit of overkill to fix the problem but it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouarf Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I had same problem with Emperor bfd, runs too fast in LAN games. The only way I found to slow it down is to use CPUgrabber. You can find it there :http://www.geocities.com/kulhain/cpugrab.zipI have Athlon XP 3400+ and Intel 3.2 Ghz. When we want to do a LAN game, we just launch CPUgrab on Athlon Xp 3400+ before, and set it to 80. Then game speed is normalĀ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
