Wow... BTS actually runs slower for me

[LlamaCat]

Anyone else having this problem, that BTS actually runs slower than Warlords/Vanilla? I am really surprised to see this..I have been reading how it's supposed to be FASTER??

Also the opening movie runs very slow/stuttering for me. It's like I'm back to the good old Vanilla pre-patch days for that!

I tried adjusting settings in the ini file but nothing working better so far. This is the last thing I expected! My computer has more than enough power and it's been running Warlords great on the highest settings for quite some time.

the gameplay runs faster and smoother for me, however contacting civs takes longer for them to respond for some reasons, and some if not most of the screens(tech,diplo, etc.) screens take a few seconds longer, not a big deal but I just find it weird.

I don't know if this has been noted by anyone yet but I get absolutely HUGE delays when I put on or take off a ship from the blockade function. The game will literally FREEZE for about 5 seconds sometimes (possibly a bit longer). Presumably, it's doing some brute force calculation to update the new and old routes. Perhaps this pathfinding algorithm or whatever is presenting the problem could be made more efficient? At the moment it's just plain annoying to do the harrassing with privateers because it makes turns take so much longer. I assume this gets even worse the larger the map is. Has anyone else noticed this one?

I've noticed slowdowns too. Booting up BtS takes longer, and it takes a -really- long time when booting up one of the scenarios.

Yes I have the same thing. It's pretty damn annoying.

The movies never stutter for me anymore and they sometimes did on vanilla and Warlords in late game on big maps, however there is sometimes those delays when wonder movies or diplomacy starts. An acceptable tradeoff, I think. Blockading causes small delays sometimes, and changing political situation can sometimes cause longer freezes. Must be the trade routes being recalculated, as said above.

I have encountered slow play to the point that I had to shut it down, uninstall and reinstall. I joined this forum in hopes to find a fix. To previous people hear I would die for 5 second delays. I had delays in the minutes during communication with leaders and a consistent 5+ minute delays between turns. The game did not start that way, it started around 1800 and got worse.
Since, reinstalling I haven't gotten that far but I now expereince the game screen minimizing itself at will. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
