Hi,
the pipelining game in Oil Imperium runs too fast, no matter how slow I set the cpu cycles, when I have "problems" selling oil, I reduce the cycles to a minimum, but still the computer is too fast building his own pipeline. The rest of the game slows down perfectly, only the computer-based pipelining seems not to be affected. 🙁 Any ideas how to fix this?
cu,

That part is timer-controlled so it will always be the same speed
whether you run it on a fast PC (high cycles) or a slow PC (low
cycle count).
The rest of the game (almost) runs as fast as it can, thus it is
possible to slow it down by reducing the cycles.
Try to not change the cycles when the game is running, that is
set them to 500 or so in dosbox.conf and don't touch them
afterwards (otherwise the timer initialization goes wrong).
It's not just the pipeline. The phone/telegram ticker scrolls too fast to read, and something funky happens when you try to put out a fire manually.
Old thread is old. Closed.
