lynx54321 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hello I really hope somebody can help me as this is making the game unplayable for me. I recently uninstalled the Long War mod (properly with no issues). I then used the PatcherGUI to apply some of the mods from here: http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/474/? Since doing this my game is stuck in slow motion and that goes for both when I'm at my base and when in mission. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynx54321 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 In fact just re-verified my game on steam and despite being completely vanilla it's still in slow motion speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Never heard of this before. What are your hardware specs and OS version (to include 32 or 64-bit)? (i.e. Do they meet at least the minimum game requirements?) Has it ever worked properly? Does it work properly outside of XCOM (i.e with other games or programs)? Do you have any "real-time" Anti-Virus running? If so, try disabling it while running the game. Do you have the game/steam installed in the "C:\Program Files" folder tree? If so, read the wiki article "Installing Games on Windows Vista+" and move it out of there. (Even if that has no effect on this slow-down, it is still needed.) Open the "Windows Task Manager" and see what processes are taking the most CPU cycles. (See how in this article.) -Dubious- Edited June 4, 2014 by dubiousintent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynx54321 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Hi thanks for the reply. My computer can handle X-COM fine and indeed has until now. Playing Long War was fine, this literally happened when I uninstalled the mod. The game runs fine during the opening menu and such but once I load my game it's stuck in slow motion. I messed about with binding keys for various fast and slow motion speeds in the defaultinput file and whilst setting the game to run faster worked it would screw up again as soon as the camera went into action mode or whatever during a kill/overwatch/etc. So the game isn't running slowly or lagging or anything like that, it's literally stuck in some sort of slow motion.

lynx54321 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Actually don't worry it seems to have sorted itself out. I've no idea why it was doing it but upon turning my computer on today there is no issues. Perhaps the restart fixed it? Anyway thanks for the help.

dubiousintent Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Glad to hear you got it resolved. Yeah, rebooting the computer is always worth a try. If a "restart" doesn't do it, try a "cold boot": "shutdown"/power it down for 30-60 seconds and then turn the power back on. Cures many a weird problem. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
