Summary0000413: +10 speed crash
DescriptionWhen you hit +10 speed, the game simply freezes up. I had to use the task manager to forcefully close down the game in order to be able to do anything at all. This did not happen in 3.706, so it seems to be a new addition to 3.707.

doesnt exactly crash, just seems to stop the graphics part. +10 needs a giant warning:
'CAREFUL! PUTTING SPEED AT +10 HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DO EVIL THINGS TO YOUR PC IN THE PAST. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!'

But really, its not a crash, the simulation core keeps running, the problem is that you cant give any input (to slow down the simulation).

Again.

This problem was apparently fixed in 3.704 though, according to issue 0000328. Something must've changed in the latest update to revert that fix.

It's to do with the performance timing shifts. At average performance, I imagine this still works just fine. But at others, not so much. ;)

* The game speed increases are no longer able to increase the speed so much that the game locks up. Instead, these are now scaled per performance profile so that they go in even increments down to a target fixed frame cycle time of 2ms (which is incredibly small -- the insane performanc mode is 17ms).
