Ship movement animations always fast.
So, I have been playing a game for a while now and at some point, I don't know when. The ship movement for all my ships began to just rush past once I click end turn. It didn't used to do that. I got to see every ship/fleet move after another before the turn log popped up. Now, it rushes through all the movement no matter what I try to do. I have no idea how to fix this. Please help.

And this persists even when I start a new game.

Check your option panel. there is a fast combat option and a fast movement option. You might need to explore there. I also noted when i upgraded my computer that the game worked a LOT faster as well.

I only have a fast tactical combat option. This issue is with the galactic movement of my ships. It dind't start doing it at first. I played half a game before this started happening. In tactical combat I can toggle the fast momvent and it works fine. Strategically it's not working.

Same Problem, Only recently. Have changed options. Uninstalled/reinstalled; same and different drives. Checked appdata for clearing files. restarts, new games. Setting seems to stick. Been playing this games for years (since release) and the first time ive seen this.

Hi ive had this a few times as well, but then it goes back to normal...
I havent done a proper test, but it could be something to do with launching mods with the launcher, and then needing to start a fresh vanilla game again and modify settings to and from vanilla and mods, and then restarting the game?

I'm running into this issue now. I played this game before and ship movement on the galactic map was a bit slow. Reinstalled the game recently and now it's almost instant. I'm not running any mods and checked every option but can't solve this. Help?

So I managed to solve the problem. I just had to restart the PC :steamfacepalm:

Somehow restating also solved a problem I was having in another game (Caesar III), so give it a try if you're running into issues.

I'm running into this issue on my laptop. Things animate fine on the desktop but on the laptop it is instant, can't really tell what happens you just see the end results.

hi there should be a option/battle setting for "fast combat" and firing weapons can be ungrouped too.
if you that, it should help slow things down :)

The animate setting is what you're after. It's in the game menu (clipboard icon) under options. Both animate system and tactical should be on.

it fixed itself and i don't know why. now the setting works as advertised.

So Old post but I ran into the issue again during a recent play through. just wanted to follow up and say Ruldra was correct. fresh restart of my PC and it went back to normal.
"Did you turn it off and back on again?"
Sometimes we think too deep into it lol
