System specs. Are you running any custom drivers? Things like that. WARNING: The game will not run on Windows 3.11 For Workgroups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janwas Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Interesting, haven't heard of any similar reports.Scrolling may expose additional objects. If you haven't seen them before, the game will first convert their data file to a faster representation.Does it still happen in a game without an AI player? If not, then you're probably CPU-bound.You can also press F11 several times to cycle through the in-game timing information we record. The hierarchical profiler will tell you where time is currently being spent. Do you notice any particular spikes or obvious changes after scrolling?

Bitiquinho Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 This happens to me as well, on the same OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32bits, with Turion II dual-core CPU and HD 5650M Mobile Graphics Card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chakakhan Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 It would be helpful to know the version of thew video driver you are using.On Win 7 Goto Control Panel -> System and Security -> System. On that panel the top left corner there should be a button called device manager, click that. On the device manager page you will see "Display adapters", open that, right click on your display adapter and select "properties". From there select the "driver" tab - let me know what the Driver Version is.(there is probably an easier way to get this, but this is what I know) ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death_is_undead Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I have to admit, it happens to me as well (Ubuntu Linux), but maybe not quite 10 seconds, more like 2-5 seconds, but it seems the game pauses as well for me; so the issue with me is not a huge problem, just annoying.

Chakakhan Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 The quality of graphics drivers varies considerably and there are some known problem cases, so it is always helpful to know the driver versions as well as the os version. If a driver doesn't implement one OpenGL feature it can really kill performance. There is also usually some adjustments that can fix the performance. Always a challenge getting good consistent performance with 3D graphics!Anyway, if you are having long pauses, that is most probably game play code and not just graphical stuff. We still have lots of optimization to do on the gameplay side of things (AI, pathing, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitiquinho Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 For me it's Catalyst 11.6 that's being used.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
