Game lags heavily since Patch 1.8 on speed 4 & 5.

[Jailbreaks2]

Hey all,

Been playing the game for some time without any issues at all.

However after updating to 1.8, the game now struggles to run on speed 4 and speed 5, sometimes speed 3.

It's really made it unplayable, cursor will jitter across screen, dates go by at unusual speed etc.

I've also applied the hotfix and even tried reducing all graphic options but no difference.

Specs:

8 GB RAM
FX 8350 8 core
Nvidia 680 GTX

Are there any other recommended solutions?

No doubt you've seen the numerous other threads on this topic, in here, Bug reports, and the main forum? Have you tried all that stuff?

Do you have AoW active?

No, just patched to 1.8 without AoW but cannot get around the lag issue.

Saw a few people saying that it's possible a memory leak (related to the CTD) but I'm a little unsure since it happens as soon as the game has started and seems to remain consistent through-out.

I've just had a look through and found the thread in the main forum - unfortunately no luck with anything there.

Will close this now and move to main thread.
