CPU overclock increasing game speed?

[BigBossCL]

Recently decided to overclock my old processor (I have one of the msi motherboards with the overclock button option) and I noticed I was having issues with abilities firing, or going on cd then going on cd again, and the game felt very fast.

Had a hunch and measured the time it takes for the in-game clock to tick 1 minute, and it took 53 seconds. After a decent amount of playtime my system clock and the FF in-game local time were minutes apart.

So my cpu overclock is fooling around with the timing for the game, anyone seen this? I don't want to get in trouble since I think this might affect movement as well, so I went back to stock settings. I know there used to be issues like this in much older computers, but I didn't think something like this was possible now. Any ideas?

The engines isn't locked to frame rates or clock speed (80's are over).
Sounds more like regular internet lag.

overclock doesn't increase any game speed. Just better FPS or performances for loading etc. Smoother gameplay.

Overclocking a PC, in very rare cases, has been known to send them into a time-warp, where they exist outside normal space-time. This happens when the overclock frequency reaches exactly 88.8 miles per hour. You may also now find that your computer is now bigger on the inside. Indeed this is quite spectacular. It's like Apple's Time Machine were a real time machine, not just an automatic backup utility. Truly awesome I must say. Perhaps you could use your computer to go back in time and tell Steve Jobs to invent the iPod. It's risky though. You might kill him if he finds out that Ashton Kutcher played him in a very bad movie, forcing you to take over his life so the time-line continues as it was meant to, without Microsoft releasing "Windows 9" as "Windows 10" cuz they didn't have the iCalc to help them count properly.

I would suggest you "un-overclock" your computer by "un-pressing" the overclock button. If you don't rip a tear in the fabric of space time destroying the universe, everything should go back to way it was. Good luck! And God-speed!
