    Slowmotion Testruns

    So, I am getting fed up with this issue. I'm trying to make tracks, but almost every time I try a testrun on my track the gameplayspeed is slowed down ( 1 to 5 times as slow, it depends).

    Usually on my first testrun it's normal speed, but after a few minutes it just starts going slower and slower and slower. Restarting the game sometimes resolves the issue but sometimes it just stays the same. I have had evenings I could test a track like the whole evening on normal speed but this has been a rare phenomenon. Because of this, I'm sure I spend like 2-3 times as long on a track then I usually would and it's driving me crazy. Even when I look around in editor mode it is slower then usual and when I use the properties menu of an object event card I have to wait like 1-2 seconds before it reacts again to go out off it. I had this issue a long time (can't even remember if it was the whole time or after an update) and it's starting to demotivate me to build because this still continues to this day.
    I'm having a similar problem when I load a track and the uplay overlay is open, the track is always in slowmotion then.

    Who do I have to contact to resolve this issue? I have already send information regarding this problem to support, but they only collect data and doesn't really help out. And since there is still no news on fixes, I have no hope that this will ever be fixed in the future.

    So as a last resort.....is there somebody from RedLynx willing to help out with this? Like give me information on how to resolve it, or somebody I can contact from Ubisoft regarding the issue since I have no idea who's area of expertise it is.

    HDD space may be an issue.

    I am getting the exact same problem! But mine is always in slow motion When I make a track, it is slow motion, and also when I test it, it is slow motion. You are lucky that you sometimes get to play normal speed I don't think HDD space is the problem, it might be a bug with the game, hopefully they patch this soon!

    Well I have a laptop so just buying a new graphics card isn't really an option and it shouldn't be. I can run other games without problems, I have no problems when I just play tracks and it sometimes keeps working on normal speed, with all this I'm pretty sure it's not my graphics card that isn't strong enough but the game/uplay that is bugging. I have heard other people with lower graphic cards and it works for them so it should work for me.

    All of these random problems with almost no support makes me not even want to play anymore.

    I just did a restore of a clean windows backup I had and I'm gonna check if it helped anything. I'm also in contact with Ubisoft about this and I hope they will be able to help. But if most of my problems continue after that, it'll become an occastional game for me and I'll only hop on to check out tracks from good builders, because I respect the time they spend to build tracks for the community. No more, no less.

    Worst part is, it's one off the games I actually bought in a long time and it's the first game ever I will have to quit playing because of the sooo many bugs.

    Yeah well, when I make the track in the editor, it's also slowmotion when I move around. Think I just don't notice it anymore because it's almost always in slowmotion . Do you also have the wait time when going trough properties?
