Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ 3

Slow down gamespeed?
Is there any way to slowdown the gamespeed at all? It would be nice to be able to strategize a bit more and im trying to teach my friend how to play but its a bit overwhelming. Is there a way to alter the fps or something to make it slower or any mods?

I'm having the same problem. Why can't we adjust the game speed in skirmish or network mode? I followed some threads where you are supposed to add a fps= 15 or something like but it never worked. Anyone any idea? Cheers.
have the same problem, there is really no way to reduce the game speed? :(

I would honestly just have two partner AI in a skirmish vs one easy AI, that way you can train friends in a more relaxing kind of match. That's how I always trained myself every time I played a new C&C game, because the two partner AI would always take care of the starting battles for me, while I figured things out.

You can even put your two ally AI on brutal, and choose a 4 player map with choke-points, to make learning easier.

I usually play vs skirmish AI these days, so I always play with all AI on either hard or Brutal, but that's only because I've been playing this game since 2008, and because easy to medium AI are quite easy to defeat. My one gripe is this game, as well as C&C 3 have their gamespeed tied, which makes everything look rather sluggish compared to earlier C&C games (where you could actually ramp up game speed).

Updated to 1650 card and this game is just too fast. I can't even slow my mouse down enough to have any control.

This game was designed to compete against SC, it focused on eSports that's why tactical game.ñ play is reduced and APM is increased, a fail that many devs still do to this day ( age IV, DOWlll)

It's just the simply fact that the engine used for this game (also C&C3, Kanes Waith and probably C&C4) ties game speed with FPS. The more FPS the faster the game.

Somehow managed to use nvidia's control panel to set the max frame rate to 20 fps, which slowed the game down a bit but looked a bit laggy to me so i brought it up to 25 which is okay. Wish we could slow the game down without reducing fps
I'm using cheat engine to slow down the game speed.
Some where between 0.5 and 0.75
0.5 = Very slow
0.6 = Slow
0.75 = Normal
0.85 = Fast
1.00 = Like normal

Dont use it online, or in others games online!

You can download it there.

- When you started red alert, open cheat engine.

- Click on the right in Cheat engine on Enable speed hack, change the amount and click apply.
