After installing alpha 12, I experience slowdowns about every 10 seconds lasting about 2 seconds from the beginning of the game. This has been the case with every civilization and map that I have tried, even when I select no opponents and turn every graphics option possible off. Specs of my Machine: Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i3 2350 @ 2.30 Ghz 6GB RAM Intel HD integrated graphics I was wondering if there is any work around for this. Also, I know that there is a way to provide information about what is causing the slowdown, however, I don't remember how to get that information. I will provided that if needed.
