Terminal velocity weird slowdown!

[71knight]

The title screen (a static picture) slows down to 24% speed. Meanwhile the actual 3D gameplay runs awesomely at 100% speed even with game settings maxed out. What's weird is that you would think it would be the other way around. All settings at default except Force 60fps out which is on. This is on Android dosbox pure 0.25. The game is a demo version.

I think the game loads data into memory or caches some heavy calculations while showing that static picture, so it's doing heavy processing not just showing a picture. As far as I can tell, the processing ends when the menu shows and the music starts. Is there any actual problem like audio stuttering or something else you can notice without looking at the statistics? If not, I think we can close this :-) It's certainly curious.

Ah yes....my bad! Yes the audio crackles and stutters at the static title screen. Actual 3D gameplay audio is fine. I'm pretty sure on real dos machine there's no audio problems at all!

Sorry but I have to reconfirm, are we talking about the title screen with just the logo, or the menu after that (Main Menu, Play Game, Options etc.)? During the first part the version I have doesn't have music or any audio so I guess there is stuttering in the main menu and maybe in the options?

Just the title screen with the logo slows down and has audio stutter. When the menu appears everything is normal.
