(PIC NOT EDITED)
Look at the FPS

I'm not sure how i got this but some how my FPS went really high on sandbox mode.

before i noticed this i was zoomed in really far using toggle destroy to blow up bits of a big ship when i noticed the explosions were happening faster than usual then i looked and saw i had FPS around 90.

Anyone got any ideas on what may of caused this???

Firstly, there is a bug thread for these problems. Secondly, you likely hit the 'Accelerate time' button (the FF one).

I'd bet you accidentally hit that little accelerate time button. That takes the cap off of the FPS, and if you've got a powerful enough computer and little enough on the screen, I guess that could happen.

powerful enough computer

This is what happened when I tested BSF on my new PC.

You probably couldn't even play at that pace.

Everything would be over the instant you click that button.

Unless you're playing with Titans that take the FPS back down to double digits, pretty much.

Mine peaks at 841 with all graphics turned on, generally hovers at 800.

I need a better computer: The FPS doesn't change...
