So my problem is that I can't have any seafaring allies after late 1500s. If I do, the game lags a lot.
I have had this problem for some time now, probably ever since Divine Wind. My computer runs the game otherwise more than fine, and I've even tried it out on a couple of different computers, but still the problem persists.
For example I just began a game with Castille. Conquered Aragon and the Moors, colonized the Caribbean and Spanish Main. Then I decided to gift my vassal and ally, Portugal, the Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde. When the game approached the late 1500s it hit me again, game crippling lag. A month starts taking over 5 to 10 seconds, a lot compared to what it usually takes. Portugal had just colonized a couple provinces in Brazil, North America and Africa. And it was moving its fleet around like crazy, which I think is the main cause for all the lag.
As I then dissolved my alliance with them and everyone else, boom, the game started working just fine again. Even as I was now in control of the whole Central America and Indonesia as well. It has been the same for long now. In every single game I have to give up all my alliances because I can't stand the slightest lag.
I didn't put this in the technical support forum because I don't think there's anything that can be done just for me, so I would like to ask if any of you have the same problem?
Thoughts, ideas or even fixes?

Anyway, if the answer to the above is 5.1 BJLT go ahead and post in there; if it's 5.0 you need to apply 5.1, if it's 5.1 but not BJLT you have a reinstall in your near future!
