Status : Offline | i have NOT played the game nor do i own it so what i'll say is a wild guess... have you checked within the options of the game if there's a text speed or smth like that option? well you probably have... try also the + - keys, i remember a couple of games that used them for text speed... the letter T maybe?

I tried to use many different key combinations (such as ctrl+T, +/- etc.) but unfortunately none of them affected the text speed. The game also doesn't include any options for changing it and programs like "Turbo" and "Moslo" won't work either.
Seems like I'm screwed!
It's strange that noone else here hasn't experienced the same kind of a problem with this game...

These lead be to believe that it's not a speed problem... does other text (like dialogs) appear ok within the game? why don't you try the game on a similar (speedwise) pc and see what happens?

Only those texts without a speech (and not during movie sequences) can't be read due to their lack of viewing time.
I'm afraid it's not just a speed problem too, 'cause everything else in the game is normal and can be also affected by "Turbo" and "Moslo".
So I'm gonna try the game at a friend's and see if the same problem occures.

You'd think that after so many years programmers would get it into their heads that timing based on CPU speed is stupid but nooo...
I forgot my sig.

And had many oddities happen.

How did you get that little guy under your name?
