Camera panning speed in Tiberian Sun is too fast

[Nicholas-Steel]

1. Overall panning speed is too fast, even on the slowest setting.
2. Speed varies between vertical and horizontal camera panning over explored space. Much faster when panning vertically compared to horizontally.
3. Panning speed is hyper fast when panning over the Shroud in any direction (unexplored space).
4. problem doesn't exist when using DGVoodoo wrapper, but that wrapper has other issues that this wrapper seemingly resolves (menus not rendering being a notable issue when using DGVoodoo).

Might be possible to solve the problem via the "maxgameticks=" setting, but it's better to use our game patch since the problem isn't caused directly by the renderer

This report is entirely to do with camera panning speed and not general gameplay speed. Gameplay speed seems to be correct without specifying maxgameticks. Am unsure if you were confused by my first bullet point so I've updated it to make that clearer.

Also do you have any information on what the hyperpatch is? I can't find a summary of it, where as the Graphics Patch has a decent description.

Yeah it's a known bug in all the old cnc games. We used to have a solution similar to the "maxgameticks=" setting for years. It wasn't awesome, but it worked....

Edit: Try "maxgameticks=300" and if it's still too fast, then try 240/180/120/60. Don't use any value below 60 or otherwise you will slow down the game speed rather than slowing down the scrollrate.

New solution is here:

Hey @FunkyFr3sh, the forum https://forums.cncnet.org won't send me a Password Reset email so I can't view my old topics or anything... and I'm not quite sure how to contact someone about this problem. I checked my junk folders etc.

I had a bookmark to a particular topic but with the forum overhaul a fair while ago it causes that bookmark to redirect to the forum homepage.

I tried to reset your password manually, you should have an email now.
