At least my new desktop arrived today (3 - 5 days early!!!)!!!!!!!
THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah, running 1600turn, Huge map, 36civs, Marathon game
next turns take around 30sec/turn
it's the fastest civ i've ever seen! Double Thumbs for the BtS team!
I think I know now why the blokes Down Under got the game first... can you say "Beta Continent"???
Around 1500ish in my test game. Fractal/Prince/Normal Speed/7 Civs makes it something between 7 and 10 seconds after hitting end turn.
However, if your espionage is massive and you have show friendly moves enabled... Well, let's just say prepare to see a bazillion units move around. Hitting end turn there brought waiting times of about 45 seconds to 50 seconds.
PC is AMDX2 64bits with 2 Gigs RAM@667 with a ATIX550 card IIRC.
Doesn't fix it. I had a name missing error just before, so yeah. Hmm. That was from a v3.0 save game though.Watiggi, if you don't mind, let us know if it fixes stuff like the missing city names you displayed in some of your screenshots.
Interesting, Watiggi...I guess they didn't read this thread and use it to inform the patch (which, sadly, is out before I can even get the game to patch it!)...
Although, probably the patch was in the works before anyone obtained the game commercially...
I think I know now why the blokes Down Under got the game first... can you say "Beta Continent"???
So can someone who has patched their game look at the readme file or something and tell us if it actually says it changes anything beyond the EU_US synchronisation whatever?
I dont.. possibly I compared the 3.02 to some older filesyeah, i updated to 3.02, no sdk fixes on my end guess gyathaar has some 3.1 beta patch already!
I don't understand why you are maxing out your machine like that... I won't argue that running all your background programs and everything else will certainly add some wait time. guess I'm just not understanding WHY you are putting yourself through that when you know perfectly well how to improve the performance.
edit: ok you are testing BTS? guess I get it. I just thought this discussion started along a different context. I don't think 30 seconds wait time can be described as "good" under any context for the casual player.
I played huge games on civ3 with waiting times of 30minutes! ROFL...30secs looks very well to me compared to civ3 waiting times
oh you have Vista?? haha, there's a huge reason right there.... Bill Gates is taking away more and more of your PC's resources with each new OP.
Agree, but it does offer alot of problems and frustration, and i like to tell my computer that he is a moron and stupid and doesn't understand anything and BG is nothing more then a bugucer(instead of producer)
I'll stick with XP and run perfectly fast games on 2 gigs. By the way, I do play the largest maps, many civs, the very highest graphics settings. no sweat. For that purpose i have several partitions, win2k, winXP prof, Vista32bit and now Vista64bit as well, each on a different partition of course(different drives actually)
