Video card, processesor, ram, whatever. It dont matter becaues what affects the speed is mostly how fast your hardrive is. pre-patch the game was completly unplayable even though my machine was badass. once i got new hardrive it was 8x faster.

Er, video card, CPU and RAM most definitely matter and is most likely what's affecting most peoples' speed, even though in your particular case switching HD might have helped (my guess is that there was something wrong with your old one).
Are u All Guys joking?
Where is the performance Improvmente in this patch?
there is not, the game is much slower than 1.1c
Fix ASAP
Dual Core 2.50Ghz
4gb Ram

I didn't take exact times, but 1.2 runs significantly faster than 1.1c, even with a ton of user fixes applied. So,
great job Paradox, rock on

1st month of the game ran at about 1:30 in 1.1c for me, didn't do an exact time but it was around a minute for me by clocking in at around 1 minute. There is definatly an improvement in the performance and I was never one to complain about it hehe.
are u guys saying that no-one has Lag or Freezes, with the max speed that can't do anything until press pause ????!
Mines not lagging at all and it was previously very badly.
Now very playable and smooth to move around. Province names appear instantly.
I did reinstall the game and apply the 1.2 patch cleanly due to an issue with an earlier player made hotfix for the map on 1.1c, so this may have some effect perhaps ?
I run XP, Dual Core Athlon ( 3.0Ghz ) and 2GB RAM. Geforce 9500GT 1GB Graphics.
All those with issues - perhaps it is your dual /quad core running at a low Ghz ? This game doesnt support multi core, so the speed of one processor will govern speed, along with RAM and graphics.
IMO too, XP is so much faster than Vista when you have modern hardware.
EDIT - game also loads 2-3 times quicker than it used to too.
I had reported earlier that the lag I experienced in the various lists was gone. I have to change that, and say that its not as bad, but does still arise.
The difference this time is that retiring and reloading doesn't solve the problem. I have just left the game, and I'm waiting to restart it.
Its not relevant to this thread, but I'm still getting the crash to desktop when I restart the game either right after I've left or right after the computer wakes up from sleep or just starting.
Game crashes at the 'Compiling ...' (can't remember - when that poor sap of a pilot is tying his head band.)

It runs comparable to EU3 for me, so I'm happy with the speed. Gotta do something about the AI though... wow.
I want it to do 10 days in 1 second on fastest mode... I have to have to use VERY slow for it to go 31 seconds a day.
How long were you playing for in a stretch? The only time I noticed any lag was when I had a 2 and a half hour stretch, started to get a bit of lag towards the end.
Running Windows 7 Quad core 4gigs ram and SLi GPU setup.
IT IS SLOWER THAN BEFORE, THE GAME STOPS AT 23:00 FOR BETWEEN 10 SECONDS AND 30 SECONDS AND THEN AT A SCEOND RANDOM TIME IT STOPS FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS, SORRY PI.
I love the game but this is almost unplayable still.

1.1c: 3 min. 50 sec.
1.2: 3min. 25 sec.
1.2 (tree off, fancy water off, simplified mapmod): 2min. 30 sec.
I’m surprised that the setting influencing graphic card has made such a difference. I thought that the processor was the main problem...

clear your savegame folders ! it seems if you have many old savegames ther it will make your savegame too big and make you lag.
1936 1month 59,7 secs, running Vista Ultimate 64, trees and water on. Didn't get much difference with trees and water off, but then I got a pretty descent graphics-setup. HUGE DIFFERENCE from 1.1c
