Too fast?!?

I installed an old favorite of mine, Deus Ex, on my new machine. On the old one, the game ran too slow. Now, with the X1600, it seems to run too fast. Voices and whatnot come through at the normal speed, but all things related to movement are so fast that it is near impossible to keep track of what is going on.

Suggestions? I believe I have the latest patch (the one that gives you multiplayer and the SDK w/ ConEdit).

Finally, I installed DX: Invisible War. For this I do not have any patches (yet), but the game freezes after the game settings screen (follows intro movie) when it is attempting to load.

Once more, any suggestions?

 

I had the same problem. but it was on some old intel integrated card...Though when i upped the settings the game seemed to slow down some. Deus ex was an old game...well not that bad, but its still pretty old in standards these days. Good luck though.

 

on some very old games, with newer computers they will fun much faster then normal.

as for DX:IW, could be a driver issue, and it could also be taken care of with a patch.

pb,out.

 

Is it possible you were just running it too slow and now its the right speed?

Anyway it worked ok on my x700/A64 machine and on my laptop :S

 

Yep, I had the same problem. Wath I do now is use RMClock to set my cpu (also Athlon64, guess this might be the problem?) to a low FID when I play Deus Ex. Running the game with your cpu at 1000 Mhz will do the trick.

It could work for IW as well. I think both games don't detect the CPU right, since the A64 is newer than the games are.

I encountered a similar problem when I bought Beyond good or evil since it uses the clock rate to determine the speed, since this changes a lot before the game loads up (usually a bit lower) the game gets the CPU speed too low and so runs to fast. I solved it by running mem test at a very low priority in the background to keep the cpu at full speed.
