Hello, everyone! First time poster here! Ok, so here is my issue. I am on a huge map with continents (Earth) and on turn 600. There is some extreme lag when the map is zoomed out all the way. Scrolling drops the FPS down to 8. The game also sometimes crashes after crawling to 1 FPS. If I zoom in all the way I get about 38 FPS and I can scroll around locally without a probelm (If I try to scroll too far I get the FPS drop again). Leader screens and menus produce nice FPS as well.
My graphics are on high with no AA. These symptoms occur in both Directx 9 and Directx 10/11 mode. The symptoms persist even when lowering the graphics to the lowest possible settings. Directx is up to date, as well as the c++ redistributable.
Here are my specs:
Alienware M17x R1 Gaming Laptop
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T9600@ 2.8 Ghz
Memory: 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 260M SLI (2 of them) running latest 266.58 WHQL drivers.
Hard Drive: Western Digital Scorpio Black 320GB, 7200 RPM
Monitor: Acer 1440x900 native resolution
I'm assuming that the probelm is likely the processor, but I'd like some confirmation on that. My processor is above the minumum requirements. Thank you for any help in advance!!
