Round start takes forever end turn is hell

Post by Obergamer »

After the AI finishes its moves to the point where it is supposed to be my turn is when this problem starts, simply it takes forever. I have clocked this as taking 40mins I'm not kidding
Not sure if its my specs (which surpass the requirements) or because I'm playing on a massive planet (6800km) during mid/late game (past turn 100) but this is what is happening to my game, I am playing the standard game, no mods, fairly certain its not the beta etc.
If anyone has a solution I will appreciate it.

While my turn times are nowhere near as long as yours I have noticed that turns on large planets take significant longer even if they relatively depopulated.

I would try a new game with the latest beta patch on a small or normal sized world and see how you go with that.

It's mostly caused by amount of regimes (including minors). I started my new game on average-sized planets with a lot of regimes & extra violence history options - and each turn take ~three times more then my previous game. But yean, I have 12 majors (almost 11 already [:D]).

It's possible the level of FOW contributes to the AI turn length. I'll have to play a few more games in order to compare settings.

I only have 6 majors does the beta help with the turn time or should I just go to work when I click the end turn button

It's hard to say as I'm rushed throw all beta releases. My personal impression that game became a bit faster, but only a bit. So I was over-optimistic to use extra regimes option as 12 are definitely too much for my PC (honestly quite obsolete one).

At least I will try it as I able to get extremely beautiful world (single source of water on a whole planet) & unique start (completely isolated since start by rogue AI, 2 majors and nomand - with no option but go early war with a major... and I get plasma tank from a single village available in uncontested area [:D]). First time I will not get economic council in first ~10-20 turns (energy? AI capitals + two geysers! industry? AI capitals! all I need is a strong army, lol).

Crazy game. Each turn take a minute or even a few, but I still like it. [8D]

Hi Obergamer,

Thanks for the save. But it seems you are still on a version before 1.03.

I strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version (v1.05 is coming today if all goes well)

That should improve the turn time a lot!

best wishes,
Vic
