game speed slow

[northernscribe]

After about 200 turns or so the game speed lags a great deal. I will click on a unit and it will take minutes until the unit is highlighted. If I click on a button, say if production is finished in a city, it will take me directly to the city screen, I'll select a new unit to produce, but then it will stick on that city for a few minutes at a time. Any suggestions?

Well, the graphics card driver could need an update.

But before you do that, you should check your .ini file (in Documents\My Games\Civ5; not the DirectX .ini files) to see if gamecore threading is enabled (set to 1), and should try if turning it off (set it to 0), to see if it helps with this problem.

Good to know .

Guess this will warrant the inclusion into the FAQ in the next time.
