Any Game Slowdowns?

Post Here!

from Sins Forums
Yarlen, being the lazy bum he is, won't make a thread to help all the poor people who are experiencing game slowdowns or stuttering. So, taking the burden upon myself, I have made this thread!

If you have had any slowdowns or stuttering problems, please post them here and send an error report to [email protected]

And now for Multi's words of noobdom:

As of 0.76[b].018 i see a slowdown/stutter in mid to late game.

Fps will inscrease alot if you remove the GUI with crtl-shift-z, but it wont remove the stutter.

The only slow part for me is in the beginning (prolly because of that zoom in movie, its also not just the beginning of a game, but the beginning of a loaded save too) and sometimes when I zoom in really close and theres lots of stuff going on. I'm sure the game NEVER runs as fast as Multi's tho (lol wish I had those specs)

Same here, I start slowing down in mid to late game. Though i havnt experienced the stuttering you are referring to. I do however have a low end machine, and i expect some slowdown to happen especially on large maps. Thing is i get good framerate in the beginning of any map i create no matter how large it is 20 planets, 100 planets, 20 stars, etc.. Once many colony's, and units start appearing i believe thats whats slowing things down (besides my bottleneck system).

the stutter is the same on a game with 40 planets, 3 systems and 10 AI

Stuttering? I started a thread on that... I have a G15 keyboard, and neither my CPU nor my ram had reached full utilization, but I was still getting a regular "stutter" on a 100 planet galaxy -- and a less noticeable, but still viewable (if I actually look), stutter on a 50 planet galaxy.

Its like the game would be paused for a fraction of a second, every second. It wouldn't effect the mouse movement or panning, but would effect tooltip popups. And, I think it might effect mouse clicks. Wasn't able to prove that, and it may just be a separate issue (if you click on a button then move the mouse to another icon really fast (say to que up 1 fighter and 1 bomber on a hangar) sometimes the first click will end up registering on the second icon.

Thrawn - There hasn't been zoom-in on new game launch since Beta 1...
