Did they fix the late game lag?

[Ac3s]

I have not played this game in like 5 months, but back then there was considerably "end-game lag" which the longer you played the worse it got to the point where the game was unplayable.

5 Months later now, did they do anything to fix this issue or is it still present in the game?

I've never experienced it, I've seen other had some issues in the past. The only time I get lag is in multi-player campaigns and only when someone has a terrible connection.

I'm talking about singleplayer mainly, with the largest galaxy possible, if you would play that same map for like a month all the empires would get so advanced and they would all have massive fleets, which would make the game super laggy and unplayable, at least that's what always happened to me 5 months ago.

Multiplayer usually doesn't even last that long, so not that many fleets are active in such games to begin with.

Is any of this End-Game Lag still present in the current game?

What are considering late game. Most of my MPs go 400-500 years. But I've not seen it in any of my games.

I only see it on the largest galaxy, generally, once I hit year 2500 or so when it becomes noticable. I have been able to prevent the lag from happening by being a fanatical purifier and purging the living hell out of everyone without rest.

Yeah late game lag is definitely still present, it got better after launch but its still a massive pain that puts me off playing larger maps.
If people are unsure what he means by late game lag it is that each month takes longer to pass compared to the beginning in essence the 'very fast' game speed runs more like normal late into a game,
Lets hope Heinlein fixes it.

One point to add,
They have added in Heinlein that you can set what percentage of worlds are habitable in the galaxy creation as well as scale it back as a default, which should help alot.

Paradox do not mention it because the 32bit engine cannot handle large maps.

Wiz did say there were performance improvements in the next patch, so we shall see. I have noticed that as games wear on, the time seems to pass slower, but tbh I usually plod along on normal anyway so it doesn't bother me so much as I just up the gears if needed.

Also, I have also read somewhere this is the last game to be done in 32 bit... shame it didn't happen sooner, but hey..it's all those Luddites holding us back...

Yeah a true shame.. they should covert the engine to 64x, it's practically not acceptable that companies still do this.

In 1.4 it's significantly better, for me at least.
