Gods animation

[ramrom]

When gods appear its extremely slow. How do I fix it?

i have play this game 10 years left on a old desktop computer and the gods animation was the same as well. Nothing as changed in my new computer. It's normal.

put the game speed at 60% in the settings

There is an unoficial patch that fixes that, http://zeus.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=967

Can someone confirm that this patch works with the Steam version? I would happily buy this game again if I knew that it would run properly on modern systems.

EDIT: I bit the bullet myself, bought and installed the game, then threw the patch over it. Apollo is lightning fast in the sandbox tutorial, so I'm pretty hopeful about this patch.

Any chance of posting a link to a vid? Gods now animating right has been one of my major beefs with the game.

I scanned an installed the patch. It really works, so far.

It appears that the Impression's coders, way back when, attached some of the gods' animations to the splash screen animation where you see the montage of the art as the game is loading. So when some of the gods appeared they came into the game painfully slow.

I'm wondering why it took over twenty years to solve this, and how a fan over at the website was able to catch what the original team didn't.

Great patch.

Fixing the gods' animations also fixed some of the other animations, and also fixed the curses from hostile or unfriendly gods. So your shores or whatever don't remain cursed for an hour or whatever it was. It's only a minute or so now. Incredible. The game now works as it should have.

Thank you for this fix. This solved an issue in one of the missions where the urchin collectors weren't collecting. Makes game playable for me again.
