Walking speed too fast on Win7 and Full screen mode

Post by androidlover3000 »

Hello,

I have an Eschalon Book II Bug: haven't seen it in anywhere on the forums:

It appears that when I'm in Full screen OpenGL mode with DirectSound and 16/32 bit color on my Windows 7 system, the game makes my character walk REALLY REALLY fast! And when it's in windowed mode, he walks the totally correct 'faster than Book I' speed. Is my computer simply too fast for this game or what? Since this is a probably a bug, can you fix this in 1.02 final Basiliskwrangler? Maybe you could look through the code and find a quick fix to make it work on computers like mine and stuff in the 1.02 final release!

Thanks,

Tom

Hmmm, I don't have that problem on my Win7 machine in OpenGL.

Your problem is probably that you have your video driver set to "force vsync off in full-screen" which is why the game is so fast.

Check your control panel and see if that is it. You can also try DirectX 9.0 and see if that is better.
See my ramblings and keep up with the latest news on Twitter & Facebook.
