New cheat: people lag when losing.

This has been happening since the game was released 20 years ago...

There are apps and settings one can modify to slow the game or connection down on purpose.

Although it can also happen if your using a old single core pc from 20 years ago... I remember my trusty old P3 800mhz slot a processor that I played on long long ago... it was like playing on SLOWER than the SLOWEST setting all the time... the pc could NOT speed up... put it on FASTEST? -- still slower than slow...   and the game plays at the slowest speed of the slowest connected machine...

 

 

So if your on a new machine where 'Fastest' makes the apocs fly across the screen faster than your eyes can observe... and your versing someone on an old machine... enjoy the slow pace...

 

So are they really cheating?  maybe.  but they might just be on a slow machine. (assuning its 'always' slow and not just slowing down when they loose)

 

*(the game will also bog down when lots of units appear on the map and old machines will slow down then too...

Unfortunately that's nothing new. Some people when losing not only swear at you but also starts lag the game on purpose, either with the "game speed" option in-game to SLOWEST (why can people even change this mid-game anyway? Never seen a purpose of it), or just slowing their connection on purpose.

EDIT: Dammit this is a thread from 2021 that got bumped

The change in-game for speed should be removed completely off the game
