Indeed. You need to press the fast-forward button in order to have it working.

Did I mis-understand your problem?

Fast forward means "go as fast as your computer can handle that particular map" by leaving out the possible wait time to the next game tick / step. Most probable and obviously your computer is too slow to (significantly) increase the speed as the time it needs to compute a single game tick / step takes already about as long as a tick is supposed to last at normal speed.

furthermore, you can disable "full animation" from settings. This way the speed of fastforwarding will be improved

Hmmm ok I understand what your saying, however I did a reload on my PC (a clean install). Before that TTD run smooth and when I pressed the fastforward it ran faster than the normal game ( no change in settings). Now that I have reinstall the game when I press fast forward it runs at the same speed as normal speed.

Does the same also happen if you start a new game and press fast forward?
