Very very very slow prod planning screens

[jjdenver]

Hi,

Our game has had prod planning slow down to the point where it's nearly un-useable.

Loading as CW takes more than 5 minutes, and the German player got this file recently and tried to do his final prod and commented that he feels it's almost unplayable.

Can you log this as a bug and try to see why these screens have become so slow?

Thanks

Johnny, there's definitely something "quirky" with 2.9.1.4 wrt/final production. It took me a good 5 or 6 minutes (didn't time it exactly) to get Germany's final production screen. For grins, I set the version back to 2.7.4 and tried it with that version. I got Germany's final production screen in 30-seconds.

Though I really don't have a dog in the fight, except I do play the game a lot, I'd consider this delay a significant break in 2.9.1.4. Also, if it were me, I'd do my final production using 2.7.4 and play the rest of the game using 2.9.1.4, or the later version when applicable, until this delay got fixed.

Small off-topic question:
Doesn't this changing back-and-forth of versions create its own (false positive) bugs?

jj,
I confirm your file is running extremely slow. Just for comparison I ran one of my files that was also S/O 41 to see how it performed and the production screen opened very quickly. Can you explain a little more when it started to happen?
Have you had any mad-excepts with this file where you chose "continue"?

I'll note that I'm running 2.8.9.4.

Also I didn't note any other exceptions in the game but production planning has remained very slow.

I went back to a saved game from the turn before JA 41 and it was happening on i1. I then loaded reinforcement phase of JA 41 and it wasn't happening. So probably between reinf of JA 41 and i1 of JA 41. We didn't switch game versions or do anything else unusual during that time. So I have no theory about why it happened.
