Hesitation problem solved!
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2019 2:09 pm
After recently being forced to use Win 10 on a fresh install, I was having annoying hesitation (one to 60 seconds!) on reaction to mouse clicks and somewhat less annoying response to commands like saving a game. I tried a suggestion to use the -multiaudio switch but no joy.
In my Win 7 install I followed Bill Olson's advice to reserve CPU 1 for Windows so I set -cpu2 and all worked well. I decided that Win 10 must also be using CPU 2 so I just changed my switch to -cpu3, et voilà, no more hesitation issues![:)].
My switch string:
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -altFont -archive -deepColor -px1680 -py1050 -w -fixedArt -skipVideo -multiaudio -SingleCpuOrders -cpu3
