What's your CPU? If CPU Grabber doesn't work, maybe WinThrottle will.

Also, there's no patch for the game, is there? (I seem to recall Syberia ran way too quickly before it was patched.)

This is the fully patched demo, I can't run Glide without the patch.

And my CPU is 2.60 GHz quadcore AMD Phenom 2.

the game seems to use clock for timing, which is just a wrapper around GetLocalTime()

the game's "timer thread" sleeps for 11ms minus how far behind it is...
so it would seem that if the cpu could keep up then the game would update 90 times per second

I think the fix would be to bump the 11ms up to somewhere between 16-33 with a hex-editor
for that v1.31 demo the file offsets would be 00006A55 and 00006A5F

Wow this works perfectly, but now some animated textures seem to not animate no longer.

EDIT: Nevermind forgot to apply my ACT fixes to the game as well.

Ok, maybe someone will be so kind and will fix Cybergladiators? Symptoms are same.

Going underwater totally goes weird in Glide mode in Gunmetal so I'm going to go make a post at nGlide forums when I get enough data on this.

Cybergladiators?

I'll find the file offsets tomorrow. ( edit: done Re: CyberGladiators Xp )
I didn't post them before because I doubt anyone wanted the demo exe offset (which was all I had)
Also had to use ddwrapper with Force Direct Draw Emulation + Fake Vsync to get Cyber Gladiators running

I use Windows Xp Sp3 as the test OS.
The game is working with the nGlide 1.02 and the EmulateSlowCPU ACT fix. Except there is no intro movie and it is too fast...

I'm starting to run into hardfreezes... I dunno' if this is related to the game's timer though. (I would hope not... Everything is running exactly how it should with this modification in place)

since I'm lazy and don't have account over at http://www.zeus-software.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=663
and you both posted in that thread...

pandemonium 2 tries for 38 fps
I assume... the correct game speed should be 30 fps?
for the demo... at file offset 0x000162DB write 0x21 using a hex-editor

Can anyone else actually play through the temple map without it locking up? It keeps locking up intermittently in that specific level and I have no idea why...

I hate to double post bump but I just got a legitiment retail copy second hand off someone from eBay.

The disc was v1.0 so the v1.0 -> v1.36 patch worked.

The same nGlide bugs are happening here as on the demo. But now I need to figure out where the games timer values are, as the game is running way to quickly on Windows.

Also it's worth mentioning that the INSTALL.EXE is broken on the disc. So I cannot install this under MS-DOS. The patch utility is a PE executable and will only execute under Win32... What a mess right?

EDIT: I managed to find it on my own, so now I got GunDX in retail running at the correct "speed" but this is not a perfect fix as there are still some timing related issues messing up some parts of the game.

i have a question, how do you discover or really sure about this patch for gunmetal ?
i have problems with sound. the sound music stutters when i set the correct speed of the game.
how i can see the frame rate of the game and smooth sound sync?
thanks in advance
