Overkill defeated on Journeyman Map. Need to vote!

Good question.  The only way I can really tell is to jump in a game.  Did you change the calculations based on real clock time so the value is consistent across all machines?

I concur: the speed on the expert game is painfully slow.  I can hit in the 'A' range even if 'A' is the first series to display.  I'll jump into a Sharpshooter practice and check some values.

I think one reason the speed was slowed down because if for whatever reason it gets really choppy then its still possible to hit a target.  However when its not choppy it is painfully slow as Weezal suggests.  I really like the speed at this BBS and it hasn't been choppy the few times I have played.

Good find!  I had a flawless session, no bumps or burps in the connection, and the action combat speed is decent.  I think my accuracy was mid 90s%.  I think it's more fun when the average accuracy is in the 80s%.  The faster the speed, the closer to the 'slash'ing sensation.

Yes.  The Windows versions should be accurate to about 15ms on NT platforms.  (That's a limitation of NT ... still ...)  Actually I've heard of a hack to increase that accuracy so I'll look in to it.  I remember it being a problem for the WoW client.

The DOS version does a little speed test at startup so it can get strange in rare cases.  I want to try and change it to something better, but I need to dig up all of the references on hooking into to the low level DOS timers.  I think 1.3 will be the last DOS version ever.  It is such a pain.
