How to speed the game up?

[swilhelm73]

Loading the game takes a long time with a video you can't turn off. AI turns are SLOOOOOW. Animations are SLOOOOOW. So what can I do? I'd like to turn off the slow stuff when I can.

There is an option to increase the AI animation speed. So, that.

Yes I've got that toggled but....still slow. I guess I was looking for an option to turn it off

Sadly you can't, Incompetent devs i guess.

The game was horribly optimized from the start. It would take 15 minutes to load when it was released. What you are seeing now is the sped up version.

The devs needed to do more quality of life passes on this title, but dumped it for Necromunda, which I do not have high hopes for.

Soooo not doing what an extremely small handful of players demand, when there's already an option that mostly fulfills that demand, means "incompetent" now?

The game is turn based. The animations are slow. Its a strategy game. My turn takes much longer than the AI turn when strategy matters. Almost every single turn is either exploratory or tactics and enemy turns reveal tactical options.

Its an extremely tall order to balance speed in this type of game. You dont want surprises that should have been seen.

Having mixed feelings about it is perfectly fine but blaming devs for every little thing in such a complex conversion is old.

You do understand that you cant please everyone, right?

In this regard, I suggest muting music and using earphones. Sometimes, when the enemy is close, you can hear their movements and get what they're doing. That helps rise tension.
