Slow...

[xr006]

I have a Core 2 Duo E6600 and 2 GB RAM.

For fun, I'm running a Huge map with max civilizations in BtS. There are like 29 total civs right now in my game on 4 large continents and 2 mini continents.

The time after I push enter for end of turn is roughly 7 seconds.

I have the same problem as the OP. It happens at the beginning of each of my turns (after the globe stops spinning and stuff starts happening for my turn) whether it's a Leader wanting to chat or a build decision gump. Whatever the first gump is it takes like 30 seconds to completely load. After that everything is perfectly fine until the beginning of my next turn.

My hard drive is not constantly running.

To me this seems like a bug not a system requirements issue.

I have a very similar system and the same issues. The leader head windows seem to be the very worst, and I can consistently CTD every time Alexander asks me to wage war on Montezuma and I accept in a game I'm currently running.

More information:

I just played a bunch of turns. The leader window is by far the longest. The build selection isn't too bad and the quickest I would say is an active unit.

I want to stress the game runs great otherwise 30 civs, huge map, etc.. It is only the first "choice" at the beginning of each turn that has a delay. Subsequent leader windows, build options, unit movement is all normal until end of turn.

i have similar specs to op, and find leaderheads won't load at all (just the frame). first time i played, the game stopped and went to desktop. i forgot i had a memory defragger running and it was giving me back as much as possible. this can happen 3 or 4 times in a few hours, but it means the game can keep going. before i had it running, my driver would stop completely and i had to re-boot.

Mine tends to lag between turns, the leaderhead issue only arises on Huge Maps (which make my game CTD anyway) and only in the very, very late game

Is there any explanation for this or a workaround?
