After having Civilization 5 since about 2 months before Gods & Kings released, I've loved the game. And prior to buying and installing the expansion, the game ran almost perfectly. Multiplayer liked to bug out once in a while, but it was tolerable.
Ever since installing the expansion, though, the game performs like molasses. Sometimes takes 10 or more seconds for it to register that I selected a unit, or selected an option. Sometimes the game itself lags, when before it never lagged at all.
I've watched both my RAM and CPU usage with the game running, and it doesn't seem to be the problem. CPU usage never goes about 50% except when first starting the game itself, or loading/beginning a new Civilization.
I've tried lowering all graphics settings to bare minimum, that doesn't change anything at all. I've tried running less applications alongside it, and again, no dice.
Is there anything that could be causing such terrible performance issues? Or how I could fix them?
