City Screen Lag Problem

[Riker13]

Did anybody sort out what the problem was with this, I have read some other posts but there was no solution but that was a month ago, any luck since.

In case you dont know what im on about, there was a major lag issue when you went to the city screen after a while, when population was about 10+.

Are you talking about the vanilla game or a specific mod?

Ah, I suppose it is when playing mods, in this instance my own personal mod, im sure it was fine before 1.61, I know others was having issues, just wondered what it was, some said it was Python interfacescreen?

I have had city screen lag issues before when I hadn't cleared the cache in a while, but I'm guessing you've already done that.

Anyway, some lags may be caused by a loop of python errors: try setting your ini to

; Set to 1 for no python exception popups
HidePythonExceptions = 1

Ok TAG thanks I will give it a go, I will report back in a mo.

You need to read the python error files now that logging is enabled. These files pretty much state what is going on wrongly and where in the files it is.

There is a shortcut under the warlords folder called _Civ4Logs. Double clicking it will lead you to a folder with PythonErr, PythonErr2 and PythonDbg files.

These will contain any error you are getting. Hope this helps, though TGA will probably be able to help you more

TAG, you are a marvel that was the problem, sorry when you said add this I thought you meant in the civ.ini rather than my own *.ini Doh

Many Thanks.

Could you post the complete error statement. Not the log file but 1 full block of the errors you are getting. Assuming its a recurring problems which is why there is an increase in lagtime, you'll be getting the error written to the log file over and over and over ...... kinda adds to the lag by writitng extra info to the logs too.

All sorted, there was a typo in my Cvcustomevents.

Many Thanks.
