We are playing Global war scenario on solitaire mode by PBEM.
Now in March-April 1943.
Starting last turn, movement of URSS and German troops is very difficult and slow due to a delayed computer response in a lot of units movement. ( sometimes it takes more than one minute to get it done for a single unit).
Game works quite fine for the rest.
Anyone knows possible reason and/or solutions for that?

Thanks in advance

What version are you using? If not the latest public beta, try that version.

If that doesn't help, then I'd recommend you retrograde to 3.2.


I've definitely encountered that slowdown in my play. In my last completed AAR, completed back in Oct 2024 I believe, I regularly retrograded to 3.2 during land movement and upgraded the latest during other phases. It was definitely a pain in the butt to do so but compared to the hair pulling frustration of game lag during movement definitely worth it


Be warned though that retrograde to 3.2 and back to 4 and higher messes with trade agreements.

I ended up with a similar issue once the USSR DOWed Germany movement crawled to impossibly slow speeds

I would love it someone could take a look at this file and see what's up... it could be a bug... though I doubt it... it could be a corrupted file... but if so... can it be fixed?

Just saw this. I'll take a look in a bit and see if I can figure anything out.

I took a look at your game (converted from mutli-player to solitary mode). I agree that movement is extremely slow, unbearably slow, unplayable slow as it currently stands.

However; when I retrograded version from 8.0.0 to 3.2.0 things sped up significantly whit the caveat that movement was a "bit" slow at time; especially for 1940. I guess it has something to do with Germany being at war with the USSR, while sill at war with France and neutral with Belgium & Holland?

But for the dozen or so "random" German moves I made the time taken was bearable running under 3.2.0 vs unplayable under 8.0.0. Again, this was solitary mode vs multi-player mode.

hmmm that may be the issue... a friend ran a solitaire game and attacked the USSR first... for fun ... and the same issue popped up... how on earth did you come up with the idea it might be because the war with France was still going on... THANK YOU!

One of my favorite sayings when I was still working , I'm retired now, was that even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then. I've always fancied myself as that blind .
