long butt turns

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hey, I just got crusade and it's a great improvement from the base game, stardock did a great job making this game interesting!

Unfortunately, the turns are freaking slow after a while. I usually play on small/medium maps, so it's 'only' a minute. It kills the pacing completely though and the game is unplayable after about an hour. This was never an issue for me with the base game, so something happened with the crusade update.

I'm just posting for reassurance that this is getting looked at and it's going to improve right?

Thanks

I just discovered something about performance: I had noticed that when I booted my computer it was taking gradually longer and longer to complete the boot-up. Same for shut-down. Then I updated my graphics driver (Geforce GT 640) and suddenly my computer booted and shut down fast again.

 

Hope this helps someone.

Buck, I meet the system requirements. My comp was running the base game (last week) with no problems.

Lucky, Thanks for the tip, mine are all up to date though.

So I've tried a bunch of things, and the incredibly long turns only occur when the ai's are at war (UP peace resolution sped my turns up and it was glorious).

I reinstalled my OS and it did help quite a bit, but the game is still unplayable for me. I sit around doing nothing.

It's driving me crazy because the base game did not have this problem.

We are working on version 2.5 which amongst many other improvements reduces turn times pretty dramatically.

No obvious jokes about the title?

 

Guess I`ll butt out then.

We've released an opt-in for v2.5 that has substantially better turn times:
