Game Slow For Anyone Else?

[unmerged(805015)]

Having the same problem here, since el dorado DLC the game went really really slow. Now its quite impossible to play. DEVS WAKE UP READ THE FORUM.

I also have the same problem. Speed 5 feels like speed 2-3.

Before selling us each DLC 15$ you could at least check the game's performances...

I have also noticed decrease in speed, especially apparent in wars (maybe because of number of units displayed?). I have a CK2 imported game - Western Europe is occupied by a blobbing France allied with Byzantinum, I have Bohemian Empire stretching from Elbe to Indus. I can manage small conflicts, but as soon as a major war (me vs the French-Byzantine league) erupts, everything slows down and even clicking pause has considerable delay. I am actually almost unable to maneuver effectively because of this - sometimes I miss a window of opportunity to pause the game, the other time I select a unit and issue orders, but the game does not register it because it was stuck at the moment and I find out too late.

Never fight a lag war in Asia...

Tried playing a normal game, no custom nations, not ironman, just friendly little castile vs nobody game. By 1470 the game is so slow that I cannot stand to play it any longer.

Seems to be a dlc issue, at least I don't have any problems (without El dorado)

It's really annoying when you buy a game which runs slickly and smoothly and is really good and then the devs ruin it slowly over time so that it's terribly slow and dreadful. And there's nothing you can do about it. Enjoy!
When I bought this game it ran really really fast but after every patch and dlc it gets a little bit slower.

Game has been running like a charm on my laptop since forever, I notice however a slight decrease in performance now.
It is like every action has a mini-millisecond of lag - almost unnoticeable but when actions starts to pile up, have to up speed by +1.
So something happended in 1.11(.x?).

For me it slows down sometimes and then gets back into shape,then after a while it slows down again...and so on.

i hope we'll get an aswer monday

 

[ExtraCheesy]

I'm having a similar problem but its weird since the slow down just started last night at random. I'm still in the late 1500s so the game shouldn't be too clogged down yet. One thing I have noticed is that EU 4 whenever I have it full-screened will jump up near 100% CPU usage but when I alt-tab out the CPU usage drops back down to normal.

For me, the main problem isn't that the time is going slow; it's that each month end takes like ~5s to go to the next month.

I have that in Ironman due to autosave, not in the non-Ironman.

Can somebody explain me how the 1.10/1.11 suddenly made the game slow so much? The patches were relatively small! I would expect such slowdown after 1.8 which added goddamn 900 new provinces and 100 new countries, I was mentally preparing for horror but slowdown was minimal, what a pleasant surprise, and now suddenly game's performance is made much worse by a bugfix patch and dlc introducing new options in menu? (simplyfying, ED is great DLC, but I hardly can justify it slowing the game so much)

My situation isn't tragic but I can imagine your pain as I was playing Civ5 on the computer where one AI turn on a big map could take 1-2 minutes late game... And on average game lasts like 500 turns, gg

Since the game starts off running normal for me and then slows down the longer my session lasts, I imagine there is some sort of a problem with a memory leak. I remember having issues with that on certain use map settings games back in warcraft 3 custom maps as well. Some sort of value keeps being calculated and is never reset or something and it just gets worse and worse over time, eventually taking up all available resources and grinding the game to a halt.

it's been more than a week paradox, you had plenty of time to find an answer. Where are the devs ?

 

[fleetothemoon]

I don't seem to have any issues for 250 years now (in-game ) :S Granted, I started a new game after the last patch.

What are you guys' specs?

 

[birincikalite]

Well El Dorado slowed down more than Art of War did Need optimisation.

 

[unmerged(805015)]

this is not a problem of specs, game worked perfectly fine for most of us before El Dorado. Now speed 5 is speed 2...

 

[b_raven]

What is your CPU?

 

[toroltao]

I'm into the game around 1550s and speed 5 is ridiculously slow. It's about the same as speed 3 now.
