Any way to slow down Privateer 2?

[Treguard]

Please help!

VIdeos work fine. It's just that the photos of teh rooms play really fast! (the one on the first planet you're on with the guy banging his head on the wall looks really funny at that speed!)

The actual game itself runs to fast unfortunately. Have tried Moslo but to no effect

DOS or Win? If you're using the Win95-version, try using Turbo. It should be available through this site's download section.

Ah thanks

yeah Win :S

the dos one would be so much easier to fix

Just tried it (btw, the edit button seemed to be missing when I looked at the last thread). It sort of works, although it makes the game do short bursts, and goes. Normal, Stop, Noraml, Stop etc
quite funny

Well, at least you can control your fighter. Always something.

Aye. It's a shame the engine isn't as forgiving as wcIV and prophecy Even WCIII plays great
I wonder what it is that makes it go so weird?

The framerate limiter is probably not in love with DirectX, so to speak. Um... The framerate limiter never seemed to worship DOS either... Meh. Well, whatever.

Try CPU Killer with the Windows version.

Thanks. Think I've got the right speed now (took about 6 times to get a good speed mix between keeping the video the same and making the space sim playable).

Only thing which is annoying is the third ship in the first wave that attacks you at first seems to take ages to take damage
