Game slows up

from GalCiv2 Forums
After planning a game on a gigantic galaxy, with abudant planets and stars, it tended to slow up after playing in about mid-game , which I took to be because of the fact the game had to managage an enourmous amount of planets and 9 races as well. But when I played on a large galaxy, with planets and stars set to rare, the same thing happened. After playing for some time the frame rate dropped considerabiliy, and the game was also very slow. The interesting thing however, was this has only happened after installing patch 1.1. I had only experienced very minor frame rate issues before, and never a single slow-up. (in 1.0x)

Have you tried saving the game, exitting GC, and reloading once it's slowed down?

Yes, and it does speed up again, (unitl about 30 turns later when it slows up) which makes me think it may be a coding problem, i.e. a group of pointers being allocated every turn and they just forgot to delete them.

Same thing happens to me, with updated drivers as well... Saved and quit, then restarted but happens again after a few turns. This happened after the patch. Interestingly, if you disable your anitvirus, makes it a bit better. This slowdown seems to be happening to a number of people after the patch....

I have been having this same issue. It is even worse on my laptop. The lag is really beginning to interfere with enjoying the game.

I am also having this problem since 1.1 was released. It really starts to slow down when attacks are taking place.

Slow up? How about "die already." Perhaps you meant "slow down." Either way, you're a tard.

i've had the same problem on my laptop... not sure if it started with one of the early betas, 1.0x, or even 1.0...

but yeah, when it starts taking 5 then 10 then 20 minutes to process a turn, i save, quit, and reload, and things get better for a while.

i figured it was because my laptop was slacking, but it's not that bad of a system... midrange, let's call it.

the same thing is happening to me. It worked fine with the past patches but ever since I installed 1.1 the game has been a lot slower starting in mid games especially during battles.

Wheeloffire : Grow up, not every country in the world uses the same slang as yours. Hell, not even every state in the US uses the term "slow down", quite a few commonly use "slow up" instead. So get a life, and realise that the galaxy does not revolve around you, contrary to what your mommy and daddy taught you, little boy.
