Re: RAM usage

I experienced this same issue. 1.1.6.0 beta seemed to help quite a lot, as well as not playing on 4X speed (1x or 2x mainly).

Re: 1.1.4.4 Performance Issues

I realized I play on 4X speed a lot. I tried slowing down to 1X and the game was a lot better for a lot longer (albeit slower). I noticed when it got super laggy after I paused the game things would still happen (economy would still change, spy missions would complete, etc). I think the game clock ...

Re: 1.1.4.4 Performance Issues

I got around to playing on the latest beta patch. Game performance is better for longer, still creeps towards the same slowness/heavier usage over time but in my hour long session it wasn't really bottle-necking until the very end and was 22GB of RAM utilization instead of 32GB.

1.1.4.4 Performance Issues

Hi,

Here's the relevant game files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1v-PpO5Ep_Vw8xLWBC_LXmhCJHh5afZGK?usp=drive_link

I have an issue where when I first load the save it works pretty good performance wise, using ~45% of my CPU (AMD 5950X) and around 6GB of RAM. As the game progresses, RAM ...

Re: Invasion Fleets not scooping up troops?

So they will move troops around but eventually the fleet based ones will scoop them up? Or are you saying to not put them in fleets at all and the individual ships will automatically coordinate and invade?

Re: Invasion Fleets not scooping up troops?

Sorry for not including the save. I always assume I'm doing something wrong and there's a simple answer so I figured someone would respond with "You are probably doing X wrong". Here's a link to a save file that showcases the behavior: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15W ...

Invasion Fleets not scooping up troops?

I just completed a play through and closer to the end of the game the most frustrating thing for me aside from fuel tankers was trying to get my automated invasion fleets to scoop up troops. I had 800,000+ troop power scattered all over multiple planets, some within range and some out of range of my ...

Re: New colonies screen - visual bug or am I misunderstanding?

I wish I remember the exact version number, I can tell you I started the game on December 2, 2022 and it would've been whatever the current standard release was at the time.

The save file is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ItTz7VDU3-BiN1RXLPnttEZu2gCHF3P1/view?usp=share_link

New colonies screen - visual bug or am I misunderstanding?

Hello,

In my current playthrough of a DW2 game, I noticed that some of the planets I've colonized are still showing up in the Colonies screen. Is this intended as it's still a "Colony" and not developed yet, or is this screen only supposed to show habitable planets that have yet to be colonized ...

Fixed my black screen on launch issue

After trying a bunch of different things, all troubleshooting steps, different mouse/keyboard, etc. I finally figured out the root cause of my black screen on load up issue.

I changed out my keyboard and mouse, but forgot I had some USB foot pedals plugged in (not sure if links are allowed, but ...

Re: START HERE: Latest Troubleshooting FAQ (1.0.3.6)

Thanks for the follow up, yes I submitted a report with DxDiag for 1.0.3.3 and another for 1.0.3.6. I'll be submitting one for 1.0.3.7 as well, it unfortunately was no improvement over 1.0.3.6 for me (black screen on launch and the session log hangs at the "Loading Per-Race Content Bundles" step).

Re: START HERE: Latest Troubleshooting FAQ (1.0.3.6)

I am one of the unfortunate souls that cannot load the game due to a black screen on launch (submitted a report). Regret to say this is still an issue in 1.0.3.6 beta, in fact it seems to be worse as in 1.0.3.3 the session log made it much further (110 lines long) while in 1.0.3.6 the session log ...
