Hey.

I have a suggestion for you guys.

I think Reply viewer should have speed up, like 2x or 3x.

It's pretty frustrating to watch 90min long battle.

Oh and thank you devs and other people!

That's a good Idea.

You can alter the 'Timestep' in your settings.yaml (found in C:\Users\You\Documents\OpenRA for Windows users). Lower values increase the gamespeed.

Example:
Player:
Name: YourNameHere
ColorRamp: 153,30,94,10
LastServer: 0.0.0.0:1234

Game:
Mods: ra
ViewportEdgeScrollStep: 34.8
Timestep: 20
You have to add this line manually AFAIK. Default speed is 40.

Does that work ingame as well, or only in replays?

Universal; affects everything -- live games, replays and the shellmap.

Haven't tried it online, so no idea if different Timestep to the host will cause desync (although I think the host 'controls' the gamespeed anyway).

Thank you, gotta try that.
