theavonlady 2 Posted March 13, 2002 The -/+ keys are standard for speeding/slowing time elapse from 1x to 2x to 4x. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted March 13, 2002 This is documented under "UNIVERSAL CONTROLS" on page 0.10 of the OFP (Euro edition) Field Manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sith 0 Posted March 13, 2002 And since it wont affect the game at all (just shows the text in the top corner of yer screen), I dont think we should worry about this 'bug' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amos m 0 Posted March 13, 2002 Yes, I get that in the mission editor also, and I don't remember it happening b4 1.4, although I didn't get much time to look at 1.3. But as has been said, it isn't a serious bug, so don't expect it to be fixed too soon. BIS are busy with stuff that's gonna make the game better, and I think we should leave them to it. Your other prob may be caused by low specs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GFX707 0 Posted March 13, 2002 a tbird 1.4, 384mb RAM and a Radeon 8500 are hardly 'low specs' thing is it only started happening after 1.4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damage Inc 0 Posted March 13, 2002 The "time acceleration 2x, 4x" bug has been around since 1.00 and it's hardly a big bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 13, 2002 I use it to speed up my mission editing *grin* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tales_From_Topographic_Oceans 0 Posted March 14, 2002 Here is another bug in the game, not the editor. I have version 1.46. I was playing the single player mission (the one that recommends 1 GHZ CPUs). It's the one where you and about 30 GI race down a hill to take the field. I started gunning down my comrads (when the box says shoot anyone, they are right; sometimes I shoot my commanding officer because I get tired of hearing him bark out orders). Anyway, if you are standing staight up and walk over a fallen body, nothing happens. However, if you press "Q" which I think is a squat and walk over the body, the body will be pushed/dragged in front of you along the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use to push them to get better fields of fire or better concealment. I've never tried to push a dead body around, so I don't know for sure. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tales_From_Topographic_Oceans 0 Posted March 14, 2002 Die Alive: Perhaps this is not a bug. Perhaps this has some utility. Anyway, I tried for the first time last night to "Hide Body" after I popped a guard. I did not know what to expect. I thought both my hands would grab the corpse and drag him to the nearest bush or tree. Instead, the body just sunk in the ground. I thought that was funny.

LordZach 0 Posted March 14, 2002 you create a magic pool of quicksand around the body with your mind and magically send the body to the depths of it but there is only one drawback to this mental ability. the shadow of the body remains! it is pretty weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
