How to Fix Commandos: running too fast problem.

The Problem
Because the game was originally written for very slow PCs (Minimum Requirements: Pentium-133,RAM: 16 MB, Hard Drive : 100 MB) when you try to run it on a modern computer it runs too fast, everything appears in fast forward almost. The save game function is also disabled, and believe me you need to save a lot in this game.

 In AGL, Click Options >> Add Game
In the main Tab set the name to Commandos or anything really.
In the Options Tab in the game EXE field, browse to where your Commandos.exe is installed and select it.
In CPU Mode settings slow down the CPU by some percentage, I put 50%, but it will depend on how powerful your CPU is.
Advanced game loader works really well, it doesn’t try to occupy the CPU, unlike some other CPU slow down software, which really heats up the CPU .

Okay I believe I have found out the solution to this major problem.

I will explain all the steps I did verbatim while providing pictures for people who need visuals.

1) First off I went to to the 'common' folder and opened up the game folder. Your goal here is to find the comandos.cfg file which is located within the OUTPUT folder.

2) Once I opened the comandos.cfg file I added the following information to it.

Quote:
.SIZE [ .INITSIZE 3 ]
.PROFILE [ .USER 0 ]
.DEVELOP 1
Here is a picture of the edited file.


 
 3) I then saved and went back into the game, being greeted by this.

Can some of you people please try this and tell me if it works. I wish you all good luck.

1) Remove the write protection from your Commandos folder
(Right-click the folder -> "Properties" -> "General" tab -> uncheck "Read Only" -> OK)

2) Make sure you save the file as comandos.cfg - not comandos.cfg.txt!
