dialog speed is way too fast

Post by Mike G »

Hey all,

Long time Ultima fan here, was excited to see it in a version I could actually play directly :) Whenever there is more than one page of dialog it zips along so fast I can only read the last page. What I mean is that I click the mouse once to advance the dialog, and it gives me several different dialogs really really fast before I have the option to click another keyword. This is really distracting me, and making it hard to do things like buy reagants and such. I tried searching the board, and read the docs on the config file, but I can't figure out how I can slow down the dialog speed. I also tried running it in compatibility mode, but I'm still having the problem.

It's not supposed to do that. What do you mean by "compatibility mode"? Are you running Exult, or Dosbox?

Indeed, dialog is only supposed to advance through mouse clicks or keyboard strokes.

Check if your mouse is not faulty or the software configured wrong (so instead of a single click you do a double click or something like that).
