Extended 'pauses' in the air execution phase

[ratprince]

Sorry frustrating as hell. Had a couple hours to play and tried to start figuring out air war....and BOG..... Been waiting the entire time.

Not complaining. Great game. This is just incredibly annoying.

[ratprince]

can you effect detail changes mid execution?

[Helpless]

it should run fast with none.

[Helpless]

Btw, you can upload a save. It could be something else we are not aware of. This particular thread contains at least two absolutely different issues.

Ok....because I am ignorant, is "none" still showing a green box with {stats, air directive, messages} down in the bottom right? I have detail to none I thought and this is ridiculous. I just figured out air settings and now I cannot play the campaign like this. pushing two hours now processing. Lags...hangs up...says not responding...then pops back with another sound effect and a couple more sorties....

Any suggestions other than setting detail to none?

[ratprince]

Not sure how to do that. Sorry...fairly simpleton at PC stuff.... tips?

Yes

I have detail to none I thought and this is ridiculous.

With none you should see no map redraw on any raid. It should stay static. You may switch to the message tab and see where it stuck.

My screen has white washed out and the circle of thinking death.... If I switch to messages,and it comes up what info do you need?

You can zip your save prior execution and attach it to the message (there is a text button "Click here to upload!").

You may switch to the message tab and see where it stuck. You may upload a screenshot.

Wow....ok, I left...and came back three and a half hours later....only at 86 percent complete...wtf....

time for a ctrl-alt-del Ill try to do the zip thing and load a save....crazy. Just doesnt make any sense why the AI would take five minutes and player directed takes 6 hours????? or more....wow..

[ratprince]

Uhh....hope this is it...

If I did it correctly it is the save just prior to the execution....

[ratprince]

Ok, restarted after a reset and ACTUALLY set msg delay to zero. It appears to moving with reasonable haste.

Clearly functioning versus seven hours to be 80 percent done... heheh..

[ratprince]

as an aside, I set msg air delay to ZERO in the pref. But I am still getting a redraw of screen, sound effects, symbols for type of raid etc....is there some OTHER way to eliminate this happeneing? I really dont care to watch all the stuff...

Air execution phase detail (or shift-i or button on top with 4 aircraft). Set to None to minimize what's shown.

Looks like it is not set to low/none.

You should toggle air execution button or preference.

Thanks. It is working at no msg level.
