OK. I disabled Norton and loaded the save. From the time I clicked on the save until the first BtS splash screen showed up was about 2 minutes. From there, it was another 1.5 minutes before the password screen showed up. After entering my password, it took another 30 seconds for the save to finish loading.
Once open, the game is VERY laggy. When I move the mouse to the edge of the screen, it takes 5 seconds for the view to start changing. From there, it seems to pan a few pixels at a time. To pan the view just a little (1/4 of the view scrolled) in one direction from moving the mouse until the screen stops slowly panning is about 30 seconds (usally instantaneous with any other game I've played). When I use the wheel on my mouse to pan in (or out) one level takes 15 seconds (again this is usually instantaneous). I select a unit and move it one tile and it takes 20 seconds. With the interface lag I made two misclicks when trying to move units.
This laggy interface makes the game unplayable for me. I'm not patient enough to wait 20 to 30 seconds for the pixel-by-pixel screen panning to stop before moving a unit.
I hate to bow out but I don't think my computer is up for the task of this huge game/scenario. Any ideas on how to proceed?
BTW, don't assume that I want to quit this game; I'd love to keep playing. I've been having fun beating up onEclipseChurchill.
Note: I play xOTM and SGOTM games all the time so I know my rig can handle Civ no problem.
It's a pity to see you go... you were one of the first to sign up... unfortunately I'm not much of an PC expert so can't really help...I hate to bow out but I don't think my computer is up for the task of this huge game/scenario. Any ideas on how to proceed?
None of us will think that! You were even on a winning roll...BTW, don't assume that I want to quit this game; I'd love to keep playing.
But if there isn't really anything to be done just send me your password and we will try to find you a replacement... which could be a nightmare again, with all the instalation stuff as the place as I've placed the zip files seem potential hazzardous....
Actually... not! They are the same player...2 players 10 minutes apart biding for Germany Ooops!
