Game freeze(Windows 7 x64)

[Sn3ipen]

I thought I should start a new thread, since everybody else that have this kind of issue seem to have WinXP 32Bit.

The game start to freeze when I play on maps with lots of units. It start to gets slow with time compression 1:05 and get somewhat better when i set it to 1:1.

Especially in C01S09: North by Northwest, since thats how far i have come because of this issue.

I believe I tried everything. I checked the integrity in steam and even tried to set NWAK.exe to high priority in "Task Manager" and tried to turn off every thinkable background process(even the web browser!), but the result is the same all over.

Links to logs:
DxDiag.txt
output_log.txt
TTG_NAVALWAR_LOG2012-04-15.txt

This was from my latest game that lasted for about 30 minutes in C01S09. Deleted TTG_NAVALWARLOG before I tried to take a test run, to make it shorter.

I couldn't find The Comms log so there haven't been any issues with internet.

I came across this one in "output_log.txt", I tried to search The forums and compared other peoples log files to mine, but I couldn't find anyone with this:

HandleD3DDeviceLost
  HandleD3DDeviceLost: still lost
Skipped rendering frame because GfxDevice is in invalid state (device lost)
 
(Filename: C:/BuildAgent/work/b0bcff80449a48aa/Runtime/Misc/Player.cpp Line: 1593)

Can this have something to with a faulty DirectX installation or GPU-drivers on my machine? I think its not my drivers. See explanation under this.

and this!

Unloading 94 unused Assets to reduce memory usage. Loaded Objects now: 16094. Operation took 551.801562 ms.

That is a lonoog time to unload 31 unused assets compared to the the beginning of this game.

Thanks for any help.

Edit:
I tried to run a test in a mission where i didn't have any problems(Tutorial 3 - Air Strike) and I couldn't find anything wrong in the logs, even if i had it at 1:20, during almost the whole mission.

and btw: I really like this game allot. Its the freshest thing I've been playing for a long time.

Thanks for feedback and logs.

We're continuing to optimize memory and performance. In very large scenarios, a bit of a performance hit will necessarily happen when a lot of things happen simultaneously on high time compression, but not as bad as you describe it.

I think "GfxDevice is in invalid state (device lost)" mostly happens if you Alt-Tab away from the game or minimize it during play. This should not be a problem.

I tried to "set affinity" to "cpu0" as described in another thread and it actually helped If I set 3DView to off, it actually became playable in that big mission. I guess I have to get used to it, for a while, untill you guys have solved the problem. To bad I can't hear the sound of the engine and explosion's when 3D is turned off. I know I got a crappy computer, but it meets the requirements as they are described on Steam.

I was actually thinking about installing XP on another partition to see if that could help(more RAM), until I came to the bug report forum and it sounds like they got bigger issues than I have. I also discovered that I got Ram Left when I am playing, so thats not the issue.

Thank you for your time, you are doing an amazing jobb!
