Issues fixed

Game running too fast/slow

Cossacks: European Wars features a unique engine timing system. While the games' speed is still dependant on the CPU clock, like many older titles, they offer a flexible speed setting in the options menu to enable the user to tweak the speed to his liking.
Running too fast[4]
  1. Go to the game settings.
  2. Choose "Slow Mode"
  3. Decrease the "Game speed" by approximately 10%.
  4. Save the settings and go play the game.

Notes

If the game is still fast, grab ACClock or CPUGrab.[5][6] If the game reverts back to fast mode, press Ctrl+D in-game.
