Okay thanks for verifying! Worst case I can setup a Win98 PC but it will be awhile because I've just got parts lying around in storage and who knows if any of them need fixing. I did play this game all through childhood though and it definitely feels more correct on the VMWare Win98 (and the clock actually matches which is a good sign).

Alright, so i made a video demonstrating both the FPS and audio playback speed differences (Win10 DxWnd with no time stretch vs VMWare Win98): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlJY4w4mcK4

The issue is the game, on windows 10, runs visibly slow. You can tell by comparing one of the Time Attack maps clock ticking down to a real clock. But if you load the game in Windows 98 in VMWare Player, the game is more fluid (running faster) and the clock ticks correctly to a real clock. I'll try the ISO version too but I don't think that will affect it (as the issue is fixed on a win98 VM). I also own the boxed game but the CD is who-knows-where after all these years.

I've been doing more testing. DxWnd reports a mere 12-15 FPS without time stretching. I wonder if modern windows (Win10 2004) high resolution timer API change is the cause. see https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2020/10/04/windows-timer-resolution-the-great-rule-change/ I'd play it in VMWare Player, it works great and fast... except one flaw. The mouse magically stops responding when in relative mode (mouse movement like a joystick).

So I've got a bunch of issues here on Windows 10. Issues have gotten worse with subsequent Windows 10 updates. The core one I want to talk about today is timing. I could be wrong, but Tanktics running at an average of 12 FPS feels incredibly wrong and slow. Countdown timers in the game run somewhere between 25-50% too slow. Now I can use this cool DxWnd feature called Time Stretching and it works! 1.5x feels great. Movement is smooth and the time ticking down looks way more like actual seconds. However,...
