I think some game functions are tied to the game speed, so if there is a timer and the game speed is negative, its counting the opposite direction and will never reach its final value, meaning if there is for example a function that scales a particle effect by some value while the timer is below 5 seconds, it will infinitely decrease in size. I could be wrong tho

I kinda expected that a bit too, but the effects were more random and broken, than I first expected

Mr.Rubinshtein

when you speed up things in any game either way they mess with one or another thing and game doesnt have time to calculate this or that events

Mr.Rubinshtein

and just breaks

I was surprised, that this is a thing in the first place. When I saw it in XXL1, I also tested it on few other games where it had an effect without crashing

Gonna send a record in a second

Flashing images and earrape warning btw. With the music it got even more funny, game crashed after the clip

Mr.Rubinshtein

there are events that are tied on game time which causes this issues maybe

Mr.Rubinshtein

in game engines when you make a game you can set up in game time

Mr.Rubinshtein

98% of the time its set on 1

Mr.Rubinshtein

in very rare occasions it is tweaked

PegPeregoGaucho

The game will always have enough time to calculate the frame

PegPeregoGaucho

If that were not the case it would freeze

Mr.Rubinshtein

when you mess with game speed it fucks up the calculations

Mr.Rubinshtein

it tries to run multiple processes at the same time in very fast amount of time and fucks up cause it doesnt calculate one thing and causes errors like this

AdrienTD

game speed has nothing to do with computation time at all

AdrienTD

at least in the case of XXL

AdrienTD

it does have an impact on precision though

AdrienTD

when you change the game speed, the framerate stays the same

AdrienTD

so for example if you decrease the game speed to 0.5x, double the frames are drawn during a single game time unit than if the speed was at 1x
