Fast Forward

[Reptile]

I see a couple people commented on this idea in an Iron Man post but I think this topic needs its own threat.

This game needs a Fast Forward feature. Especially in the campaign, there are times were I've built over the entire map and had to wait 20 days (~1 hour) for the swarms to come. I read emails on my phone and had no problems completing the map at 200% difficulty.

Agreed it's poor game design.

Yes I agree, have felt the need for this many Times, let us toggle game-speed between pause, normal, 2x, 4x etc.

You can do it with third party mods eg cheat engine. The devs said they won’t add it for stability reasons. But they also said nodding is fine after full release. Cheat engine I got a stable 100x game speed with my comp.

I don't think it was 100x. I've noticed that after some point x100 x1000 or even x10000 are the exact same game speed (was playing with it in another game). So there are possibly some hard limits of acceleration you could get no matter the multiplier

Possible but 500 I crash on haven’t tryed above 100 but below 500.

then stavility isnt a problem since times 100 speed is stable
so then wwhy a times 2 isnt stable that makes no sense

You thinking it makes sense or not means nothing.

Fact remains that the reason they have given to not add it. That means how they would do it causes a issue. Simple as that.

Also me being able to support 100x dosent mean comps with min spec req would. Devs make the game around a set spec for comps not for the high end user with 2080ti i7 and 16 Gb of ram. So it’s vary possible someone with min spec req even 2x would cause a crash where for me it’s at over 100x.

Exactly. I had performance issues at Cape Storm at the last wave. Imagine someone with similar performance drop activating x2 or x4

Ya if I keep 100x on durring some of the bad waves like that one I apoc I see some stuttterkng of the comp not liking it 50x is more stable for durring swarm missions for that reason. I can’t think people with min req doing well skipping to fast. But as they allow such a work around there is no worry about them not adding it. Thou if they did it would be nice but not a big loss if they don’t.

Hello

I would like to remind to all of you, that you have a dedicated part on this forum for suggestions and ideas in the following link ----> https://steamcommunity.com/app/644930/discussions/0/1642041106354911620/

Anyway this idea has been already given before by other users but this not a possible feature because every user´s computer has not the same hardware and configuration.

Thanks

Regards
