Game running in Slow Motion?????
I'm getting some ridiculous chraracter lag here. Everything seems to be running in slow motion, and I've tried: changing resolution, changing refresh rate, changing power settings, and also reinstalled. Any help is welcome, as I'm sure many of you guys are suffering the same problem.

I've tried all of the suggestions, but none of them seem to work flawlessly. Lowering the resolution (& going in windowed mode) seems to make the character run a bit faster, but it's nothing close to what was shown in the gameplay videos.

The game seems to be very show! But I will wait for a solution because I've tried everything...

how could a simple game be so unoptimized

Same problem here.. Dev's, need fix!:KOh:
same problem

My experience is both the Humble Bundle and Steam version experience the same slowdown. What seemed to work some of the time for me was to go to the pause screen when it was happening and it would sometimes correct itself. Not too sure what the issue is, but if I had to guess, I'd say some kind of buffering / resource management issue. Didn't really stop me from enjoying the game though.

Are you saying you played the entire game in slow motion, except for the few occasions where it fixed itself for a time after pressing pause? It's bad/slow enough for me that I can't even enjoy making it through the first few steps of the game, and the resolution fix suggested by others doesn't affect it at all.

For me, most of the game was fine, with occasional slowdowns. When that happened, usually pausing and / or just giving it a minute solved things, or going to a different area. It did seem to be somewhat better / less frequent after the start section.

It's a fun game, but it does require patience especially for some of the more advanced challenges (which it fortunately didn't seem to happen during), so occasional slowdown felt kind of inline with that to me. I could see it being a cause of frustration if you're going for speed records though. I just went for as quickly as I could without dieing a lot generally.

Are you playing on a desktop or laptop, and system specs, if you don't mind? I mostly play PC games on my desktop, which is 4 years old now and nothing fancy, but I built it myself and was somewhat selective about what components I used for it.

Also, are you playing with a keyboard / mouse or a controller?

I'm on a laptop,
HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
AMD A8-3500M APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.50GHz
6GB RAM (5.48 usable)
Windows 7, 64-bit

Although I do get a poor framerate on a lot of newer and demanding games, I can also run many games with little to no problem. This game just didn't strike me as a demanding one, and honestly the slow motion thing seems like a compatibility issue more than a performance issue (although I'm just guessing, based on the comments here, and the fact that it's legitimately slow motion instead of choppy/low framerate).

*Edit: Also, I am on the cusp of buying a new desktop for the purpose of gaming (as I have a lot of great games I can't play on my current computer), so if you haven't any tips/recommendations, let me know!

I agree with you I don't think the game is inherently demanding, just a poorly optimized PC port from Wii U, which means there's extra bloat and overhead (so using CPU cycles when there's no need to be), and it's unlikely they'll be fixing it anytime soon. I get the slow-motion thing too sometimes, but mostly on the world map and running between maps usually fixes it.

In terms of building a PC for gaming, I haven't kept up with PC hardware lately, but the main thing is don't cheap out, but also don't chase the bleeding edge.

* Get a midrange motherboard with solid caps, preferably with a solid audio chipset (google them) so you don't need a sound card
* Get a higher end graphics card from any given lineup - it's okay to go a couple generations back, the tier matters more than the generation for the most part - probably HD 7850 / R7 370 or higher: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

Also check hwcompare to see power consumption. Go for a double-fan card that stays in the 200-250 watt range. Extended cards restrict airflow and tend to be hotter and less reliable (also for the rest of your machine)

* Get a solid power supply. Seasonic Gold power supplies are good. Google power supply calculator to see what supply you need for your system. There are other brands - just make sure not to cheap out on power supply and motherboard - if they're junk they'll junk the rest of your hardware
* Get a full desktop CPU, not the low-power ones, and check cpu benchmarks. They'll last longer. I like MX thermalpaste. Get an aftermarket CPU fan - one with big fans. If you're rich, you can get water cooling, but I'd avoid the cheaper water cooling stuff.
* Be careful selecting ram to make sure the timings, speeds, and quantity in each slot are compatible with the motherboard and CPU. GSKILL and Crucial are reputable brands, althought htere are others. Don't go for gamer ram - it tends to be less reliable. Go for performance ram with reasonable specs.

* Get a solid mid-tower case with good tooling and airflow. Antec make solid ones with noise dampening panels. Mine is an older one. Tooling is kind of bad, but still has good airflow. Look for one with big fans on top Invest in extra fans and a fan controller when you have a chance. Keeping your PC cool goes a long way in making your components last long. Thermaltake fans tend to be cheap and good quality - just make sure to get the right size for the slots in your case. Most fans have front labelled on them, so you want to point them so they suck air in from the front, and push it out the back and top of your case.

* If you have a lot of games, I'd get a separate hard drive or SSD to store your games on, so you aren't screwed if you need to reinstall windows.

* For soundcards, I'd only invest in one if you have a fancy sound system, and even then, IMO it's better to just get a solid motherboard with respectable sound (google audio chipsets) and get a receiver to take the load off the soundcard. Money's tight for me, so I went with a stereo receiver. Surround receivers are much more expensive.

* A decent pair of bookshelf speakers should cost in the $80-100 range on sale. Headphones in the $60-100 range. I like AKG semi-open headphones - neutral sound, reliable, and afforable. If you can afford to spend more, obviously go ahead - if it makes you happy. People tend to be picky about their audio gear.

* Get an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) unit so power outages don't fry your hardware. I'd go for 1000VA. It's another expense, but it's cheaper in the long run.

* If you're looking for a monitor, they now make a variety of different styles. Ultrawide seem to be good for productivity and movies, but a lot of games have trouble with them so a standard 1080p / 4k monitor is probably best if your primary purpose is gaming.

* Get a wired xbox 360 controller, if you don't have one already (unless you have a PS3 controller you already use with your pc). It's the defacto universal PC game controller for most games.

In general, it's a good idea to shop for stuff that's tried and tested. Don't go for things that are the bleeding edge - go for things with solid performance, per reviews, while still being reliable and not breaking the bank. Games also are much better these days at detecting your hardware config and adjusting settings appropriately. So build a good machine and it should last you a long time. Just don't get suckered into going for the bleeding edge (waste of money and typically less reliable).

I don't have much in the way of disposable income these days so I have to be more selective buying things to make sure they'll last. If I get a PS4, Wii U, or XBO at all, I'll wait until they're on clearance, and then only if there are exclusives that interest me. PC gaming is a lot cheaper (both the games, and the hardware, since you don't have to keep buying new generations of hardware). Build a solid machine and most games will auto-adjust to optimal settings for your hardware for a long time - as long as you aren't obsessed with having the best of the best, you can save a lot of money and build a reliable machine that will last you a long time.

We Need A Patch Dev
Mairo the bear 7 SEP 2015 a las 10:21 
So we are talking about mid and high end rigs here as well then? Anyone gotten look at FPS meter or posted some PC specs? Anyone actually emailed developer about this instead of sharing this with other players here?
I was assuming this was problem for low end machines which can't get the game to run 60 FPS and that's why it works better when playing with lower resolution and windowed mode. Games speed is tied to frame rate, so I'm actually playing it over double the speed without any external caps.

I think this is a good idea, as it's become apparent that the developer isn't monitoring or responding to posts here. They pinned a post back in April stating that they can be contacted via email or Twitter, and while they said they would make an effort to keep abreast of the discussion board here, players have pointed out that the developer hasn't posted again since that initial pinned post.


Here's the important content from the pinned post:

"Welcome to the Stealth Inc 2 forum. Please feel free to use this thread as a way to keep in contact with the devs (us).

Do bear in mind, that it's a lot easier to get in touch with us via Twitter (@CurveDigital) or email (support@curve-digital.com), but we will monitor this board to the best of our abilities."


I'm not really on Twitter, so I don't have a solid way of contacting them there, but I can plan to email the support account listed above.

If everyone else invested in/interested in getting this game to work can do the same, I think we have a better chance of gaining a legitimate response. I would suggest including in the email or tweet the fact that many users, with many different types of computers and set-ups, are encountering this slow motion problem, and that there are numerous threads on the store page in Steam talking about that issue.

If we can inspire them to at least drop by here and see how many people are actually struggling with the same problem, I think there's a better chance of getting a fix.
