Slowdown

I vaguely remember there being a thread at one point or another stating how you could disable the simspeed regulator on FA so that the game would remain at real-time speed at the cost of FPS. I cannot, however, seem to find it.
Any help here would be appreciated.
And I run everything on maximum graphics with near-perfect FPS anyhoo, so I'll just tone them down a notch or two if it gets bad.|||viewtopic.php?f=2&t=39740
the trick to finding it was that it was never in Mod Talk - was in SupCom GD instead.|||BulletMagnet|||I used to experience some really bad Sim Speed slowdowns.
There are three important steps you need to take in order to fix this problem:
1) Install the Sim Speed Regulator Remover and patch your exe. This will not directly affect Sim Speed, but it will allow you to keep a constant Sim Speed (for the most part), albeit with lower frame rates.
2) Install Sorian AI 2.0 or greater, there have been some recent changes made that give a massive Sim Speed boost, I've noticed increases as great as +4 or +5, meaning that when I used to eventually get to -4/-5 during the course of a game, now it'll be at 0/-1 instead!
3) Install the Core Maximizer, I've noticed a slight performance boost with this, but you could probably do without it. If you have a quad core however, the benefits increase.
I play with AIs and some of my friends over LAN, and we all have these enhancements. We rarely get negative Sim Speed nowadays.
Of course, another thing that really helps is just have a high-end computer, with a 64-bit OS and 3GB+ of RAM.
Happy Hunting! :)|||You forgot about Duncane's AI fixes. They can be run alongside Sorian's and will provide additional boosts.|||X-Cubed|||yes although they change the rush ai, and it changes the beheaviour of the sorian ai too.|||Duncane's fixes affect the stock AIs and Sorian's AIs. Duncane did not to my knowledge make any AIs of his own other than the null and fortress AIs.|||he made a swarm ai, notech ai and made land air and naval ai which replace the standard rush ai's. the only problem with his mod is that some of his changes bleed over to other ai's and make them behave different.
