Not sure if this is a RAR (rise and rule, aka Double Your Pleasure mod for c3c) bug (using v 1.03 but it happened in 1.01 too) or a c3c bug (using 1.22), since we never play our big multiplayers with regular c3c... I posted this on the RAR forum too.
Anyway, what happens is, about the time we get engineers, maybe sooner? (at LEAST in the modern era, maybe in the industrial), every single turn, one of our players will lag badly, her whole computer pauses, our civ games pause briefly, are active for 4-5 seconds, and then we get the message, "Waiting for player #2...", usually lasts at least 10 seconds (sometimes as much as 50 or 55 which is scary), then turn goes over as usual and we play...
But sometimes too in the middle of the turn, especially when fortifying units or stacks of units we will get lag from player #2 also.
anybody have any idea what could cause this? The computer is the worst of all the machines we have playing, BUT other people have played fine with worse computers in our circle of civ playing freaks
at different times and not had this problem.
She's tried a fresh install of civ, on a different drive. She is using the same install files that I use, also the exact same copy of RAR she distributed to all of us. We can't find any unusual processes (ie viruses or spyware) running in task manager. Its not impossible its a hardware problem.
Anybody have any suggestions??? It's real annoying and in some games she will even lose connection and we have to reload.
