@LeyShade - I did not. I'll turn it off, thank you.

@XpanD - "I'm wondering about that as well, when I did something similar for my console commands I was told that speedups could cause issues with cutscenes." - Depends on the scene. If it's set to play animations in sequence, moving actors to a predefined motion, or is synced to another variable such as audio playbacks, speed ups shouldn't effect it past making it faster. If it's pre-rendered, works on timing instructions, or requires measurement of actors proximity to objects to inititate animations, it will probably break. Has been this way with Unreal since the original UT, and is still an occasional issue even in 5.

@Flauxhawk - You do realise most mods don't function correctly if Zip Mode is enabled, don't you?

I'm wondering about that as well, when I did something similar for my console commands I was told that speedups could cause issues with cutscenes. May be worth testing if not done yet, especially in things like Chosen fortress/chamber assaults.

(hope everything works, this would be very useful)

Without mods if you use numpad + and - you can speed up all tactical animations and sometimes come out of a freeze or extra slow event. Might just need to start the game in review mode or something if I recall.

Curious how this mod is different from using those keys? Does it prevent animation bugs or crashes that are associated with those keys?

Thanks for this. Even after Zip Mode, Quit Wasting My Time (Again), and the like it can be tedious watching large amounts of modded units moving around and slow cinematic animations.

Is it intended to not speed up Lost or Resistance army turn automatically?

@Wolf Renegade, I haven't found a mod that would speed up enemy animation without pressing any additional switches

Congrats on the release mate. I have just one question, what's the difference between this and the other turn 'sped' mods and also simply using + / - ? (Unless I misunderstood something)

Simply awesome mod that should have been included in some way in the base game! It is soooo much nicer fighting those larger battles now!
