Large Maps Playable for me now

[bananamana]

Since the patch I can play large maps with the same settings that would bring my PC to 20++ second turn times before. Now its almost no difference between beginning of game and late game

Its because in the latest patch they fixed two memory leaks that caused that problem. I also finally can play large maps to the end as usually in the end it would crash in some point.

Now its almost no difference between beginning of game and late game

that is awesome. I will try a large map game after I finish my standard tonight.

Crashes and IBT waiting times on large maps has been improved significantly by the 1.0.1.217 patch.

Crashes and IBT waiting times on large maps has been improved significantly by the 1.0.1.217 patch.

I stopped playing the game because of the crashes BEFORE this patch.

If I try this patch, how much worse can it be? Should I even bother trying?

Before the 1.0.1.217 patch, every game, at epic speed + large map, had a handful of crashes.
After 3 games, 2 on a standard map + 1 on a large map, no crashes.
The waiting times on a large map were around 45 seconds, it's now somewhere between 10 to 25 seconds IBTs (late game).

This is good news I plan to play this game for the first time in a few months and I like the biggest map size but found I could only play the second biggest when playing before.

I can vouch that the major bugs that caused late game crashing are now fixed. I could not finish a large map before the patch but now I could play large map to the end and there was no significant slowing down. Before it started to slow down and in one point it you just had to do something and it caused it to crash.

I thought I was free from crashes, but the new DLC scenario crashes some time after turn 100 :/

my success story is that turns are faster and too i can make the fog of war go from "minimum" (sp) to "low" and see clouds now and still run the game

and my ol machine is like from 1867 below specs in every area with like vacuume tubes

Maybe it's me, but after the last 2 patches (September? + December) late game IBTs, played on a large map, take almost 1 minute.

Large is better but I would also like to play huge without waiting a long time between turns.

Anyone experienced grey tiles or the polkadot tiles in the late game on large maps?

I played standard size yesterday and found some grey tiles, which cleared when I ran the cursor over them, haven't seen polkadots yet on standard.

Might try another large map tonight.
