Since i updated to 0.11.11 i've been getting strange speed-ups on my 0.11.09 map. When running around the map, most of the time I run at normal speed, but quite often (every 5-10 seconds) i get a period of 1-5 seconds of extreme speed-up with everything running at 2x normal speed. Then it goes back to normal. Almost unplayable.

Edit: Just built the rocket defense in this game, and the count-down speeds up as well.

Using any mods?

What is your Monitor refresh rate?

That is the problem. We are still struggling with the V-sync versus update times synchronisation to make the game smooth, it is harder than it seems.

But we don't have 120Hz monitor, so we forgot to take this possibility into account. I will try to make some fix for 0.11.12

i get the same thing but only when i hover over the roboport.
i have it in video the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2TKO2C ... e=youtu.be
i get the bug on 0.11.11, 0.11.12 and 0.11.13

just tried the hovering over robopots, and it looks indeed something speeds up the game / the movements of the robots.
fps / ups stay the same

i always had the assumsen that if you hover over a roborts, there is a "heavy" calculation that draws the yellow lines lines to connect to other robopots. because of the calculation, game slows down a bit / then reajust/ speeds up a bit to correct the slow down, to the speed of where the game{time} actualy runs. So afther the little visual speed up, the game runs in sync again?

I made a change that should solve it, but I couldn't test it as we have no 60+Hz screen. It will never work perfect on 144Hz as it is not multiplier of 60, but 120Hz should be fine if I didn't make mistake.

0.11.15 is running at double the normal speed nearly all the time

I get killed by aliens so fast it's not even fun. Unplayable.

Just wondering, what happens if you disable vsync and restart the game?

Seems that I will have to buy 120Hz screen :0

A couple of these maybe? I'll take 2 myself.

This is exactly what I'm using, and I have no Issue, the game (or not?) is limiting me to 60 fps

I just tried out 0.11.16. I runs at 2x speed from the start constantly. Chopping down a tree take 3 seconds with the default tool.

When you get some stuff built, it runs at normal speed intermittently, but runs at 2x speed alot.

On the good side, it's a lot smoother than before

Interestingly, if I start the game while monitor is at 60Hz, I can switch back to 120Hz and keep playing normally without any problems. It only matters if I start the game with the monitor at 120Hz.

I'm solving this bug by typing this : or

Still having this issue on 144Hz screen in 0.11.18.

I only see this bug happen with wait for vsync enabled.
