Just when the game gets interesting, the interface locks you out! The computer seems to still be "playing" however, and when it's ready it will let you join back in but then everything happens so fast you can't possibly issue orders to your units fast enough to effect the outcome and once again you are defeated. Here's what I have tried:
So much effort went into the details of this game- it's sad that it's not very playable because of poor programming. I would like to create custom scenarios but not until there is a major overhaul of the core code. Good games can last for years if players contribute maps and missions but I would be embarrassed to recommend this to any of my friends the way it plays right now. I hope that maybe if enough other people also complain, Paradox will put some money into fixing this game. Also- sometimes the mission descriptions disappear and sometimes I can only play one of the alliances. Occasionally the game will lock up and never "come back" and I have to use Task Manager to end it.
Thanks for reading my whining and complaining!
- Latest patches for Steam and NWAC
- Re-install and patch Steam and NWAC several times
- Shut down all other software
- Disable and stop all unnecessary processes (this is a whole post in itself)
- Change CPU priority for the NWAC process to "above normal"
- Set the affinity for the NWAC process to different cores than the Steam process
- Disable the 3-D viewer
- Start Steam in off-line mode
- Motherboard and Video card have latest drivers and no other issues (and are well cooled)
