It does. And increasing it too much certainly makes things hard. ;-) However, in general I don't feel like it gets much harder from it. > > Note that with my "restore speed" patch, some horizontal jumps become > > very hard (you have to jump at exactly the right pixel.

I "restored" it to 2, not 2.5. With 2.5 things should be fine. I didn't expect it to use non-integer computations. > I'll try out the various options.

I wrote my own map editor, which can view and change the tiles, but doesn't know about any other things (action zones, enemies, lifts, doors, teleports, buttons). If you need it, I can put it online somewhere.

That is an option as well, of course. With the original speed, there was no problem, though. I don't know if there are more such situations where the speed increase may have caused new bugs.
