Re: Update has made game unplayable for me


I have the same CPU and it had to be fast enough for a game like distant worlds 2.
I have 32 GB ram. How much RAM do you have?


I have 32 gb. I really played around with things last night to see if I could improve it, even expanded the virtual memory. I'd love to know what is different between ...

Update has made game unplayable for me

The latest update seems to have made the mid-late game unplayable on my computer. I'm running a Ryzen 5 5600X 6 core cpu which up till now has got me barely thru late game on 700 star game running 4x speed, even 8x speed. Not the biggest system around, but it got me there.

Since this latest update ...

Not sure. Swapped back and forth. Currently playing released game. Will check.

Re: [1.2.8.6] Thoughts on first full game since release

Alliance does not form if I refuse to join. I've played at least five games where I've refused to send an ambassador (is this the point of refusal?) and in none of those games has an alliance formed. Get message 'Now is not the right time then', and that is the last I see of that progression. If I ...

Re: Runaway Race – Strategy Needed

This happens in many of my games (as human, highest game difficulty). I think it is because the devs have recently nerfed expansion thru colonisation (made it harder), so those races that expand thru conquest seem to do better, on the surface.

You can still win with minimal conquest, till you get ...

Why are races with very good relations becoming part of Shakturi alliance?

Not sure if this is happening normal game, but at Extreme, Chaotic, factions with very good relations with me are becoming part of the Shakturi Alliance. It's happened in a few games. What's the point of taking the time and resources to foster good relations with potential allies, if the 'rules' are ...

Re: Auto fleets not working as well as before dlc



Distance doesn't appear to be a factor. Fleet strength is certainly not a factor. I have started a new game and will investigate in more detail.


I'm not certain, but my sense was sensors and long range sensors either come later or are not as powerful as before? That could impact fleet ...

Re: I really like the new expansion.



Yeh, me too. Much more challenge. Tho I think the Shakturi war declaration comes too soon. Maybe needs diplomacy to hold it off for a while. I did try but too high a negative rep.


You can adjust that in game settings before you start - I haven't hit that point yet so it's good to know I ...

Re: Auto fleets not working as well as before dlc

I don't think any policy changes would impact here. Main factor is tactics and fleet settings. I had most invasions being completely ignored by my auto fleets. Prior to update, my auto fleets would efficiently appear at a target planet prior to an invasion. After the update this was not happening ...

Auto fleets not working as well as before dlc

In my last game since the dlc, my auto raid fleets were not chasing down AI fleets very well. I've had frequent instances of invasions happening with fleets sitting around doing nothing. In some cases just one system away. I don't know if this is something I am doing wrong eg maybe with the sensors ...

Beacons still hinder research after Shatkari defeat

Some of the story line for beacons is a bit janky. Got mission to study a beacon after I had destroyed it as per instructions from a previous mission to destroy it, which I did.

Potentially more serious, I had two separate flags showing beacons hinder all research 5 and 10%, after I had destroyed ...

Re: war score and missions are completely broken

I had a couple of missions which asked me to destroy a facility. I bombarded the facilities but didn't get any acknowledging messages, and it didn't look like any score had been added. I'm wondering if I was supposed to destroy them another way, eg by sabotage, but the mission didn't specify.
