Game Processing Speed

Post by solops »

Vic,

Can you foresee a point in the game's future at which you could devote time to speeding up the game's processing time (the AI turn resolution)?

It is on the long term planning list indeed. Expect some focus on content first however.

Playing v1.11b....

As the game progresses, I've been experiencing progressively increasing delays once an item is selected before the program brings up the screen requested. In some cases, it is a 2-3 second delay once mouse button is pushed until new screen comes up. On some items, there is no perceived delay at all, other things 2-3 seconds pass before the requested screen appears.

Hi,

Thanks for the report. It is sort of a known issue.

Please feel free to send over a savegame and a list of screens/windows that are the most slow to load.
to vic@vrdesigns.net

Its something I should really get around to at some point and your savefile would help.

Best wishes,
Vic

Save file sent. Issue most pronounced while moving through the stratagem screen and cycling between card selection and target of card. Other screens experienced same issue occasionally, having a 2-3 second delay between mouse selection of an item and program actually bringing up the screen chosen. Played on v 1.11b (since upgraded to latest beta).

This was my first game played through to 'victory' (victory score of 50) - unique start position enabled me to achieve victory by round 90. (Single zone start, no starting army, nearby farmer zones, friendly major not too far away, theocratic major declaring war when they entered minor that was vassal, slow technological development chosen at start, developed technological and economic edge early on, etc.)

Zone stratagems often cause massive slowdowns. Also I noticed that whole gui starts to react slowly if zone's Items tab is open.

AI is way faster than waiting for PBEM reply...so I don't complain.

Way way back in the day I was beta tester for Warsaw to Paris.
Would time the AI turns and send to Vic. AI faster nowadays.
