[FO1] Slideshow entries being cut short [Resolved]

I am having an issue where if the slideshow entries go "too long", the audio is cut and it moves onto the next slide, even though Ron Perlman was still reading us the information in his sexy voice. Example is the Brotherhood "good" ending, it's quite long and gets cut off about 2/3 into the third subtitle.

EDIT: Looks like it's the speed setting in ddraw.ini - the safe value threshold seems to be 104. You can set to 105 and have the last bit of the last word cut off in the "good" Brotherhood of Steel ending and that's it, but for no cutting off of anything, the highest you can set is 104.

;The initial speed at game startup
SpeedMultiInitial=104; this is as high as you can go if you want to avoid cutting off slideshow audios.

Keep in mind this value is on my computer... it's possible you will get different results. If anyone tests this and gets different results, please post them here. Obviously you want to test with the longest slideshow entry you can find.

So is the issue going above 100 for that setting?

EDIT: 104 seems to be the safe threshold value. Which kinda sucks, because to me 104 is frsutratingly slow for gameplay such as running animations.

I've updated the OP.

@killap An easy way to test if you ever want/need to for F2UP/RP, is to just add "endgame_slideshow;" to the either look_at_proc or description_proc of OBJ_DUDE.SSL - voila! Check yourself out and you get instant slideshow testing. You probably already knew that but just thought I'd mention it.
