Performance since the last patch?

from Sins Forums

I dont know if this is just me but it feels a lot like the performance has gotten worse.

 

I've been playing against he AI building up huge fleets and taking them on and for the most parts have had 0 problems with lag but on my latest game 10 player ffa on a large map I've run into trouble just looking at my own fleet. I should add that there are only about 3 hard economic ai left (they were all economic, seems to be the strongest ai out there right now).

I noticed the slowdown first when I threw my huge massive maxed fleet at the ais almost as large fleet in a system they owned. I thought, sure massive late game battle I expect slowdowns in those but I won the battle took the system but the lag didnt seem to go away. As long as I'm fully zoomed out its fine but if I even look at my fleet it bogs down. I have not had this before and it saddens me.

I too have noticed quite a slowdown with large fleets in battles.  Much more so than in Diplomacy (can't speak for the previous beta as i didn't have it).  I've paid careful attention to my graphics card stats, memory stats, and processor stats and i can say with a fair bit of certainty it's not the video card or the memory causing the bottleneck.  Video card is rendering at ~60 fps and running below high load temps, memory is steady at about 1.5 Gb usage, with a rather small pagefile.  My CPU, however, is pegging solidly at 13% (quad core, HT, so "8" cores), which means it's maxing out one core steadily.  During large fleet battles that would not cause diplomacy to slow donw significantly, i'm presented with extreme slowdown.  Oh how i wish game multithreading was a thing by now. :p
