Delay when trying to use Gamespeak!

[Zoomba]

Hi everyone! Just starting playing Oddworld on PC for the first time, it's running alright and everything but I have issues with speaking to the other Mudokons. I'll press the keys for Hello and Follow me, but Abe will more often than not just stand there in a weird animation. I tend to have to spam the buttons in order for him to talk to the Mudokons.

Anybody have any fixes or tips for this?

Well,you can crouch and then use gamespeak buttons or hold the buttonm.The problem is in the original controls:PS1 version(original) used a specific buttons to hold to turn the gamespeak ones.And the gamespeak buttons were mapped on the buttons for actions like jump,run,etc.The game sometimes think,that you've preformed one of those commands,not the gamespeach.They fixed it in the Oddworld Abe's Exoddus port.
Hope,that my advices were useful... ;з
