Game in slow motion

[Strigon]

One of my saves seems to be running in slow motion. I don't mean that it's running slowly; there's no lag, and the FPS is stable, but the everything is slowed down to the point of unplayability.

This is only on one particular save; everything else works fine. There are literally no vessels to be causing lag - I just came back to the game and it was like playing in molasses. Have I activated some slow motion feature I don't know about? If so, how do I disable it?

Play the 32bit client not the 64bit client, its in the game install location.

[Strigon]

That made no difference; it happens in both 32 and 64bit.
All my other saves are working, but this one in particular seems to be failing.

bro its called LAGGING ever heard of it

[Strigon]

Sure. Except literally everything in my post indicated it wasn't lag, including the part where I explicitly said there was no lag and the fps was stable.
If you're going to be snarky, at least have the decency to read the post.

the graphics and physic are processed seperate. even if you have 60 fps your could have 10
physics fps and then it looks like slow motion

[Strigon]

How very peculiar.
I'm getting 7-8 physics fps, but only on this particular save with literally no vehicles spawned. Every other save, I can spawn a huge vehicle and a tsunami without this issue - I think I might just have to abandon that file. Thanks for the help!

Im also getting the same problem, its very strange

[Shinari]

Getting this problem too. Was playing last night fine jumped on tonight and its unplayable. will start a new game see if it is better

You all have the AI off? A few AI ships could be killing your physics speed even when you haven't spawned anything yourself.

It may actually be lag, something I noticed when I spawn large, laggy, creations is that when Stormworks lags, it will slow down the physics to keep the fps stable, making it appear like slow motion.

I suppose it could have been AI. I didn't see any, but I hadn't looked.
Unfortunately, I've scrapped the save file, so unless someone else can test, it's impossible to know.

I had the same problem
I noticed in F1 panel that in the logic box the Scripts where running like crazy while starting clean new game.

I reinstalled the game and now it is fixed even with the AI on.
Hope it helps if you still have problems

i found heavy winds to cause some slow motion stuff... maybe. i went to sleep, weather changed and it was gone, everything normal again

Its the game engine, they produced this game on a crappy engine so any large objects or anything relying on physics will tank your performance. This game is extremely CPU usage intensive. Devs have failed to acknowledge this issue as it effects singleplayer and multiplayer even more.

the same situation. when i build boat or plane the behavior of the character just like on the moon. i can even jump to fly across the run way it`s so sad
