That's not called freezing. Freezing is when you can't play anymore, the game will not respond to anything and the screen is stuck.

 

Your colours get messed up somehow, but I don't know what the solution for it is.

If i add ten tanks game really freeze in one time , i just found the limit .. You dont have an idea if its a game problem or hardware problem?

Theres a problem where if AI (or your) units cannot move, then the game slows down drastically

I used to play PS1 Red alert a lot so I know this problem (skirmish Map #14  is unplayable because of this)

I think you'd better start looking into PSX assembler then... I know nothing of the bytecode used on Playstation CPUs.

Hi,

I know it’s an old topic but it’s relevant for my question.

Does the slow down also affects Red Alert (the first release, not the retaliation version) ?

Answering to myself : the original game seems to also lag : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAS0DtSzWDE

There's nothing surprising about this. The PSX wasn't a particularly powerful device even back in the day.
