Why PTW is so SLOW???

[Mad Hab]

I intalled CIV III PTW (1.14f) on two computers of my home network (both way above the minimum requirements) and it plays veeery slowly, even with pings between 1 and 4. Usually, after I assign an order to a troop, I have to wait 2-3 seconds until it starts moving/attacking (even on turn-based mode). Why is it? A turn-based strategy game is not supposed to run so poorly. Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas on how can I make the game respond faster?

Thanks... and cheers!

It happens for everyone Mad Hab but its waaaaaaaay better than pre-1.14f. Firaxis is developing a third (and hopefully last) patch that will fix further problems with gamespeed and those pesky NAT routers (grrrrrrrrr)...

NAT routers???

Well, thanks for the information. Patch-waiting time again, I guess, tsc, tsc...

Cheers,

Is there any information on when the next patch will be released? I hope it'll happen before December 16 (my birthday ), although it probably won't.

I don't think they have announced a release date for the next patch. I hope it is before 2003...
