This game is so laggy late game.. even with 6x6 x 700
Here are my specs..

If I am playing a game at 6x6 x 700 stars the game becomes UNPLAYABLE Later on in the game (By later on I mean 5-6 hours down the road) It is so laggy and stuttery its crazy.

Everything I have is up to date driver wise.







Am I doing something wrong? Does everyone lag or what?

It crashes very rarely with this

honey.. welcome to whatever framework coding bullcrap Distant Worlds Creator decided to use..

i love the game.. but obviously he chose the absolute worst engine/framework whatever you call it for this game..

its ok.. as long as this CRAP doesn't happen for distant worlds 2..


i dont think you should be getting lag on that small of a map.. but come on man.. 45 empires?? really?? what do you think is the problem?

i play with 11-19 empires and i can't stand lag just with my 30 ships on the screen with 4 fighter bays on each of them..

but again, the amazing engine/framework this guy chose to use for this game is again the culprit..

it literally is pointless to play late-game games.. i just lost one cause i couldn't even save it got so crappy.. shitty code.. shitty framework etc..

ok well im glad its not just me Geuss there are some huge trolls on steam
