Speed multiplier settings in ddraw.ini have no effect

[Tinman-6]

What happened

Installed fallout 2 RPU on a fresh GOG fallout 2 installation, with all optional files. Character movement speed (out of combat) in game was painfully slow. Tried adjusting the speed setting in the in game settings (including checking the box for the player), no effect (wasn't expecting any since that is combat speed). Tried adjusting the initial speed setting in ddraw.ini up and down (10, 100, 150, 300, 900) all with no effect in game. Tried setting a toggle key for the speed, no effect in game.

ddraw file attached.

What you expected to happen

Play run speed (and other affected animations) to increase in game.

If by "slow" you mean the game is super laggy, check if your graphics driver applies any FPS limit or vsync to the game.

I appreciate the quick response.

Scrolling by moving the mouse to the sides of the screen was a little jerky, but not bad. Mainly it is the run animation speed does not seem to be changing at all, and is painfully slow. Otherwise the game is running very smooth and fast.

I have a gtx 1080 with a 144hz gsync monitor. Running the game in borderless windowed mode. I had all my normal driver settings for VRR gsync in windows applied (was using defaults since i hadn't set a game profile in the driver settings). I tried turning off gsync, vsync, and any latency reducing features and no change to the run animation speed in game.

I tried full screen before this, no change to the running animation.

Tried every combination of settings in the configuration files that I could think of and no change to the running animation speed.

OK I think I finally got it working after changing one of the vsync related settings from "fast" to "off" (last one i hadn't disabled yet). Now my character is zipping around the screen at 900% speedmult.

Thank you so much for the help.
