视频(Video)游戏提供了多种选项来配置您的游戏体验。例如，您可以调整控件、修改图形设置，甚至在某些情况下设置难度。
但是，您通常不能做的是改变游戏速度。如果您更改 PC 游戏设置(change PC game settings)，您可能会遇到游戏卡顿，因为您的帧速率低于正常水平，但这有些不同。
不，我们正在谈论的是修改游戏速度。您可以使用此技巧在慢节奏的游戏中快进或减慢动作。如何？
何时需要加快或减慢游戏速度？
对于大多数游戏来说，玩弄游戏速度是个坏主意。游戏的难度和战斗流程是围绕特定的速度构建的，而改变它可能会使游戏变得过于简单或难以实现。
但是，有些游戏对技能的要求非常高。像Rogue Legacy或Hollow Knight这样的平台游戏在街机爱好者中很受欢迎。尽管如此，该类型的新手可能会发现跟上灼热的步伐具有挑战性。稍慢的游戏速度甚至可以让绝对初学者掌握机制。
还有一些游戏节奏很慢，玩起来很费劲。官方的口袋妖怪(Pokemon)游戏(Pokemon games)因此而臭名昭著。对于第 100 次重玩游戏的经验丰富的玩家来说，能够快速完成游戏的选项简直是天赐之物。尤其是当您打算多次重新启动挑战赛时。
使用作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)改变游戏速度(Game Speed)
如果游戏本身没有提供调节游戏速度的选项，则需要尝试迂回方法。这说起来容易做起来难，因为您通常无法篡改游戏本身的内部流程。
这就是作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)的用武之地。一个漂亮的小内存扫描工具，作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)可以用来玩游戏的许多隐藏变量。在通常没有作弊码的游戏中，诸如无限健康条或物品复制之类的作弊很容易实现。(Cheats)
但是对于本指南，我们对另一个功能感兴趣——启用 Speedhack(Enable Speedhack)。此选项允许您调节任何正在运行的应用程序的速度，包括游戏。请注意，这需要作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)将代码“注入”到正在运行的进程中，从而导致许多防病毒工具将其标记为恶意软件。您可能必须手动为该工具创建一个例外。
- 首先，从官方网站下载作弊引擎。(Cheat Engine)
- 运行下载的文件以开始在您的 PC 上安装作弊引擎。(Cheat Engine)
- 如果您不小心，安装程序将尝试安装一堆过时的软件。只需(Simply)选择“全部跳过”(Skip All )按钮即可防止这种情况发生。
- 设置完成(Finish )后选择完成。现在还不需要运行作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)——我们需要先运行我们的游戏。
- 现在打开你想要加速或减速的游戏。我们将通过放慢快速移动的动作平台游戏Rogue Legacy 2来演示。(Rogue Legacy 2)
- 要实时查看速度变化，让我们继续通过菜单进入游戏本身。
- 现在按Ctrl + Esc最小化游戏窗口并打开开始菜单(Start Menu)。您可以让游戏继续运行，但最好先暂停游戏。
- 在搜索框中(Search Box)搜索作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)，然后以管理员(Administrator)身份运行。
- 作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)将在新窗口中打开。如果所有显示选项都没有太大意义，请不要担心——我们只关心一个选项。
- 首先，选择File > Open Process选择带有(Open Process)Cheat Engine的游戏进程。
- 您将看到计算机上所有正在运行的进程的列表，并附有它们的名称和图标。您可以轻松地在此列表中找到您的游戏。选择它并点击Open。
- 原始窗口将返回，但所选进程的名称位于顶部。您还会注意到所有灰色选项现在都可用。
- 单击启用 Speedhack(Enable Speedhack)旁边的复选框以将其激活。
- 您现在可以拖动滑块来选择速度调节器：左边(left)是减速，右边(right )是加速。您也可以直接在文本框中输入数字修饰符。完成后选择应用(Apply )。
- 现在切换回游戏窗口（无需关闭Cheat Engine；它需要运行），您将看到慢动作。有时它第一次不起作用，因此您可能需要关闭作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)并重复这些步骤才能使其起作用。
那么在线游戏呢？
如果您正在考虑使用我们概述的方法来减慢在线游戏的速度，请不要打扰。离线(Offline)游戏通过查询操作系统来跟踪时间，允许像作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)这样的程序将自己插入中间并欺骗应用程序。但是，对于在线游戏，这些计算是由服务器执行的。
即使您确实设法让Cheat Engine在在线游戏上运行，服务器也会检测到您游戏的异常行为并禁止您。特别是对于竞技多人游戏，不允许使用第三方程序获得不公平的优势。
加速模拟器游戏
许多人喜欢使用软件模拟器在他们的 PC 上玩掌上游戏机游戏。除了其他好处之外，这样做的一大优势是修改游戏速度。
由于该软件模拟了游戏运行的目标硬件，它允许您直接更改其功能的各个方面。您不需要任何第三方应用程序来加速或减慢模拟游戏的速度 - 只需查看模拟器的选项即可找到该功能。
在 PC 上加速或减慢离线游戏的最佳方法是什么？
Microsoft Windows不提供任何方法来直接改变任何应用程序的速度。您始终可以更改图形设置以获得更好的性能并加快滞后游戏的(lagging game)FPS，但通常不可能将游戏从默认速度减慢。
您可以使用作弊引擎(Cheat Engine)来修改任何正在运行的进程的速度。您也可以减慢Google Chrome的速度，但它对游戏很有用。许多游戏以更快或更慢的速度提供更好的游戏体验，这可以通过Cheat Engine实现。
但它不适用于Android或 iOS，因为它们的架构受到更多限制。但是您始终可以使用模拟器在您的 PC 上玩这些游戏，然后更改它们的速度。
How to Speed Up or Slow Down Offline PC Games
Video games provide a variety of oрtions to configure your gameрlay experiеnсe. For example, you can adjust the controls, modify the graphics settings, and even set the difficulty in some caѕes.
However, what you usually can’t do is change the game speed. You may get a stuttering game if you change PC game settings because your frame rate is lower than normal, but that’s somewhat different.
No, what we’re talking about is modifying the game speed. You can use this trick to fast forward through slow-paced gameplay or slow down the action. How?
When Do You Need to Speed Up or Slow Down Your Game?
For most games, messing around with the gameplay speed is a bad idea. The game’s difficulty and the flow of combat are built around a particular speed, and changing that could make the game too easy or impossibly hard.
Some games have a pretty steep skill requirement, however. Platformers like Rogue Legacy or Hollow Knight are popular among arcade enthusiasts. Still, newcomers to the genre might find it challenging to keep up with the searing pace. A slightly slower game speed would allow even absolute beginners to master the mechanics.
Then there are games with pacing so slow that it is a slog to play through them. The official Pokemon games are notorious for this. For an experienced player replaying the game for the hundredth time, an option to blitz through the game is a godsend. Especially if you are doing a challenge run where you intend to restart multiple times.
Using Cheat Engine to Change Game Speed
If the game does not natively offer an option to modulate the game speed, you need to try a roundabout method. This is easier said than done, as you usually can’t tamper with the inner processes of the game itself.
That’s where Cheat Engine comes in. A nifty little memory scanning tool, Cheat Engine can be used to play around with many hidden variables of a game. Cheats like an unlimited health bar or item duplication are easy to implement in games that generally do not have cheat codes.
But for this guide, we’re interested in a different feature – Enable Speedhack. This option allows you to modulate the speed of any running application, including games. Note that this requires Cheat Engine to “inject” code into the running process, causing many antivirus tools to flag it as malware. You might have to create an exception for the tool manually.
- To begin, download Cheat Engine from the official site.
- Run the downloaded file to begin installing Cheat Engine on your PC.
- The installer will try to install a bunch of bloatware if you are not careful. Simply select the Skip All button to prevent that.
- Select Finish once the setup is done. There is no need to run Cheat Engine yet – we need to get our game running first.
- Now open the game you want to speed up or slow down. We will demonstrate by slowing down Rogue Legacy 2, a quick-moving action platformer.
- To see the speed changing in real-time, let’s continue past the menu into the gameplay itself.
- Now press Ctrl + Esc to minimize the game window and open the Start Menu. You can leave the game running, but it might be a better idea to pause the game first.
- Search for Cheat Engine in the Search Box and then run it as Administrator.
- Cheat Engine will open in a new window. Don’t worry if all the display options don’t make too much sense – we’re only concerned with one option.
- First, select File > Open Process to select the game process with Cheat Engine.
- You will be presented with a list of all running processes on your computer, complete with their names and icons. You can easily spot your game on this list. Select it and hit Open.
- The original window will return but with the name of the selected process on top. You’ll also notice that all of the grayed-out options are available now.
- Click on the checkbox alongside Enable Speedhack to activate it.
- You can now drag the slider to select a speed modifier: left is for slowing down, right for speeding up. You can also enter the numeric modifier directly in the text box. Select Apply when you are done.
- Now switch back to the game window (without closing Cheat Engine; it needs to be running), and you will see the slow-motion. Sometimes it doesn’t work the first time, so you may need to close the Cheat Engine and repeat the steps to make it work.
What About Online Games?
If you are thinking about using the method we outlined to slow down an online game, don’t bother. Offline games keep track of time by querying the operating system, allowing a program like the Cheat Engine to insert itself in the middle and fool the app. However, with an online game, these computations are carried out by the server.
And even if you did manage to get Cheat Engine working on an online game, the server will detect the abnormal behavior of your game and ban you. Especially for competitive multiplayer games, where using third-party programs to gain an unfair advantage is not permitted.
Speeding Up Emulator Games
Many people like playing handheld console games on their PCs using software emulators. Among other benefits, a big advantage of doing this is modifying the game speed.
As the software emulates the target hardware for the game to work, it allows you to directly change aspects of its functioning. You don’t need any third-party apps to speed up or slow down an emulated game – just take a look at the options of the emulator to find the feature.
What Is the Best Way to Speed Up or Slow Down an Offline Game on PC?
Microsoft Windows doesn’t provide any method to directly change the speed of any application. You can always change graphical settings for better performance and speed up the FPS of a lagging game, but slowing the game from its default speed is generally not possible.
You can use Cheat Engine to modify the speed of any running process. You can slow Google Chrome too, but it is useful for gaming. Many titles give a better gaming experience at a faster or slower speed, which is possible with Cheat Engine.
It doesn’t work on Android or iOS though, as their architecture is far more restricted. But you can always use an emulator to play those games on your PC and then change their speed.
