Combat speed up glitch
« on: May 31, 2021, 09:52:31 PM »

Had this happen a few times, sometimes when i call in reinforcements the entire battle speeds up by i think double. i DO have the 'speedup' mod installed, but i only use that to disable bullet time when i auto my phasing flagship. actually deleted every other line from the settings ini so im pretty sure that isnt the cause. though... i dont recall it happening before so it may be.

Hmm - pretty sure that this is indeed mod related. (The only times I've seen anything similar come up is when someone is misinterpreting what's going on with the phase ship they're in and have on autopilot, but it sounds like you're already aware of this.)

if i were to hazard a guess, when reinforcements join they get a little 'boost' in speed, and i think that is somehow being locked in to the entire battle. probably is that mod, but as great as bullet time is when yer flying, when ya have the battle on auto it is just a pain in the ass.

Yeah, I gotcha. (I'd be super surprised if it was a vanilla issue, though, as it doesn't do anything like that, or with time compression/dilation when reinforcements arrive.)

interesting, thought it did. welp, ive only had it happen like 3 times, and it hasnt made any difference. so not a big deal, and ye, most likely due to the mod. mebbe i'll find a different way to disable bullet time while my flagship is on auto later that fixes this entirely.

Does the time dilation change persist if you disable the speed control (B key)?  What ship are you flying?

never thought to try. the zigg. ive deleted the rest of that mods functionality, so cant try to speed up/slow down things. but i will try to toggle bullet time next it happens. like i said, only seen it three times, so it is pretty rare

I'm 99% certain the problem would fix itself by just toggling the speed control (the "no bullet time" effect).  There's probably some kind of underlying vanilla issue that triggers it, but I suppose you could say there's a legitimate issue in SpeedUp too.  Try this version and see if the issue persists:
