I am curious about turn processing time. My game is on a huge map with about 12 civs. I am in the late classical age. I can read four or five pages in a book while the turn processes. During most of that time my screen never moves and shows a message that other civs are moving. I will see a couple of seconds near the end of the turn where neighbors units move. I surmise from this that graphics is not an issue. I am using the two to four gig exe extender. I have a 3.4 mhz I-7 4770 with 16 gigs RAM and a 4 gig Nvidea GTX 1070 graphics card. Is my wait time about normal?

It's probably normal, sorry, we have been working on optimizing performance lately, but there's a limit to how much we can accomplish with so much content on an ancient 32bit game engine.
There's a lot that can be optimized further still, so it will get a bit better in the future.

Ive often wondered.
i have a computer less powerfull than you on CPU but RAM and GTX is the same. Huge map, i have near 30 cities and transuman era. Turns are processed in 20-30 seconds so it's ok. What is bugging me is time to open city screen
check quick turn, don't show IA moves, setup quick moves, etc it should help How many AIs you have, and what is your handicap and game speed?i have a computer less powerfull than you on CPU but RAM and GTX is the same.

Can I see your save?
Try Interface Overhaul modmod - it speeds up opening city screens - it lasts so long, because it instantly tries to load building and resource lists.
@Toffer90 is it possible to delay building/resource display until player actually wants to see building/resource list in city screen?

Probably a bad idea as that will mean that if you are cycling through the cities it will reload the buildings multiple times rather than the once. IE there are trade offs.
Can't it forget building list when switching cities?
It's a small adjustment to get it like that in my interface modmod; but it's a huge adjustment that is needed to get that functionality in C2C current city interface code. I won't implement that idea in my modmod as it won't yield enough performance improvement to be worth it.
Ah so with your modmod full city screen already opens as fast as possible.
Yes and I plan to make the built building list a lot more faster without doing something as strange as not creating it when a player enters a city.
Oh, I thought you meant that one had to click one of the tabs for the list to be built, so that when you enter a city there is only tabs without list underneath it until you click one of the tabs.I meant creating it on demand
So you meant a demand that is met the moment you enter a city... That is how it currently is in C2C...
well, not exactly all the list are created every time the player click on anything inside the city interface, and I do mean anything; increasing the amount of priest specialist will trigger the interface code to recreate the building list.In my modmod, only the list that you last had open is created when you enter the city, when you change tabs then the next list is created, the previous list is stored so that when you are inside a city, each tab list will only be created once regardless of how much you change the tabs. When you exit the city the stored list are deleted for memory savings (can't store all the built buildings list for all the cities permanently). the next time you enter the city only the last opened tab list will be created and the next will be created when you change tab. I think that if you enter the same city as you just exited then the first list does not need to be recreated.
I'm going to instead of creating the list as a time consuming table, I'm simply going to mimic a table or a list object by placing line by line underneath each other inside a panel. The exe makes tables in a very time consuming manner where all the tooltips are created and cached, while individual lines that got a tooltip creates the tooltip when the mouse hit the individual line. Not having to create the tooltip for all entries in the list when the list is created saves a lot of time. Tooltip on demand for the list entries, is what I'm basically going to do.

I recently saw a post here (can't find it now) from someone suggesting playing C2C as a multiplayer game with only 1 human player (using the option Local Network).
I can confirm that with the "simultaneous turns" setting, it eliminates the wait between turns, and C2C becomes blazing fast, like regular vanilla Civ IV (there is a few seconds delay (4-5 seconds) at the start of the turn, when all the ai's are moving simultaneous).
There are only 2 (cosmetic) consequences/limitations of playing C2C (single player) under this method:
1) Wonder movies are not displayed.
2) Tech screen doesn't display automatically when u research a tech (but u can view it any time before or during tech research).
I can finally play C2C without wait between turns!

When trying to start a multiplayer game, i got this python error repeated multiple times:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "CvScreensInterface", line 1172, in forceScreenUpdate
File "CvMainInterface", line 1353, in updateScreen
NameError: global name 'RoMOpt' is not defined
ERR: Python function forceScreenUpdate failed, module CvScreensInterface
I'm using SVN 9974 and Interface overhal modmod and custom civilizations modmod. Single player gives no problem.

If you are using any modmods it's better to post any issues you have in the thread of the modmod. This way the modmod creator can take a look at it.

You probably have to run the program as an admin.
