Everything running at extreme speed.

setups

I'm running on a windows XP machine and I my drivers are up to date. Both online and offline everything seems to move extremely fast, everything from the rain texture to the sky texture, and when I move I move at light speed.
My ping is fine when playing multiplayer also.
Any ideas?

The game originally used the RDTSC instruction for simulation timekeeping. In multi-processor systems, or on systems with power management clock scaling, this timekeeping method can cause either jittery or time scaled simulaton speed. Running setPerfCounterEnable(0); changes the game timekeeping to more modern methods that work when RDTSC gives results that aren't suitable for timekeeping purposes.

Out of curiosity, is there ever any downside to running setPerfCounterEnable(0); ?

Thyth

If there's no functioning high precision event timer, perhaps. I doubt anyone will run into that sort of situation, so I'm including a call to setPerfCounterEnable(0); in the TN initialization scripts in RC3.

my c2d system has stutter in game if perfcounter is set to 0, but thats with s2k3 for os and the hpet timer enabled in bios
