Odd Graphical Choppiness in GalCiv 2

from GalCiv2 Forums

Ok if I turn on AA in GalCiv2 my performance tanks.  However if I turn it up all the way in Dark Avatar or Twilight it runs perfect.  Also if I disable AA in the game but enable it through the NVIDIA control panel it runs perfect and that is at 16x versus 8x.  I doubt it is my machine or driver I have tried the newest beta as well as the newest WHQL.

My system specs are

Core 2 Duo E6750

4 gigs of RAM

2 8800GTS 640MB SLI (Driver Version Currently 169.25)

500 Gig Hard Drive

Windows Vista 64-Bit SP1

Anyone with any ideas?

It's the minimap and graphs code.  Dark Avatar and Twilight have been updated to work better on Vista, but we haven't had a chance to update Dread Lords yet, and we won't at least until after Twilight is done.   If you hide the minimap and context area your framerate in DL should improve.

Thanks for the reply, no big issue as I can get around it by enabling AA in the NVIDIA control panel. Just thought it odd.

Keep up the great work, Stardock is one of the few companies I am glad to give my money! ;)
