Very long end turn

[neo94700]

Hi

i have a problem with my TATW installation, the game is working perfectly, except for the fact that each time i end turn, it takes more than a minute

I found another thread where someone had the same problem and he fixed it with deleting some scripts. I tried to delete the same, but i still have the problem.

I have the game on Steam, the game is working perfectly with the original game and my computer is good enough to run it on a high config.

Maybe i can delete more scripts, but what scripts are not essential? It might as well not come from the scripts ^^

Thank you, and please excuse my poor english, i'm french.

Getting more RAM might help you, but I'm not sure

You can try this excellent guide made by Trailhog250 http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=439839

Well i already have 6Go of RAM

Gonna check the guide, thank you major, i will repost if my game is running better... or not ^^

Just came to think of something, M2TW, including all mods, is supposed to be runned with single core. Something to think about

[StealthFox]

You might try deleting "Leader Death Messages," "Lost Capitals Message," and " Regional Videos" first as these will have no real impact on gameplay. If you want even shorter end turn times you might try deleting "Capital Change Cost," "Last Stand," "Help Weakened Factions," and "Garrison Script."

Getting more RAM might help you, but I'm not sure

Computers nowadays have 2 GB RAM at the very least, which is still more then enough for pretty much every game (Minecraft probably being the only exception But that game is resource-inefficient as hell )

So unless you are trying to play 5 games at the same time, you won't need to buy any more RAM

[neo94700]

Ok, so i applied the advices given by Trailhog250 in his guide, a very good guide by the way, and i deleted all the scripts StealFox mentionned (yeah all, no more garrison ^^).

And... it doesn't take a minute anymore, just... 45 seconds ><

Any more advice?

With the 2.3 the end turn never took me more than something like 10 seconds

[StealthFox]

Well, you could also try deleting Baron Samedi/KK's One Ring script, Money script, G5 Autonomous Regions mod v1.3, Palantiri scripts if you can't live with the turn times. But be warned this will radically change the gameplay. You should also always make backups of any files you edit in case something goes wrong. I have never tried deleting these specific scripts, so I don't know if it will cause a crash or not.

[neo94700]

Hum... if i have to change the gameplay so much, i prefer to go back to 2.3, anyone knows if i can find the installer somewhere?

Err, what was the version before 3.0? I can't remember.

I found 2.1 on an old post (looks like the links are still working)

I'm still looking for solutions that doesn't involve losing half of the gameplay

[Mhaedros]

2.1 was the last version before 3.x. Is it really worth to lose all cool settlements and features in 3.x, just cause of 1 minute turn endings though? One minute isn't very much after all.

[neo94700]

Oo One minute is waaaay too much, i don't think it's worth the new features, because when i tried to play i hadn't had fun and i didn't play more than 10 turns, so i couldn't try these new features...

I must say, waiting one minute each turn to play is really a long time.

[StealthFox]

You can have 2.1 and 3.1 installed at the same time. Before going back to 2.1 though I would try deleting Baron Samedi/KK's One Ring script, G5 Autonomous Regions mod v1.3, Palantiri scripts these scripts and see how it works because you're not going to have these features in 2.1, so you're technically not losing any gameplay if your other option is going back to 2.1.

[neo94700]

So, i deleted the other scripts, this is what my campaign_script.txt looks like now :

;#####################################################################
;############################# TATW 3.0 ##############################
;#####################################################################
;###################### Aging & Season script ########################
;########################## Welcome text #############################
;############################ Gamenotes ##############################
;############################# AI Bonus ##############################
;############################# AI Setup ##############################
;############################ Osgiliath ##############################

;############################# Ent spawn #############################
;######################## Additional Nazguls #########################
;####################### Change settlement names #####################
;########################### Germanicu5 AI ###########################
;#####################################################################

And is still takes 45 seconds, computer doesn't lag, everything running smooth, game just not moving... ><

Other advices?

Btw, what with this palantiri script? There was something like a thousand lines of script O_O

[neo94700]

Ok, so i just uninstalled 3.1 and installed 2.1 instead and... 45 seconds for end turn!! >_<

I don't think it's because of my computer, but more because of Steam.

[neo94700]

Ok so i tried on a non steam version, and it's really better, it takes 30 seconds now. I think i will try to delete a few scripts to improve the turn time a little. So i guess the problem somehow came from Steam.
I was wondering also, i have a 1To hard drive and it's almost full (i have only around 70Go free), can it have an influence on the time of end turns?

[Alec_S]

I'm sorry but 1 minute and 30 seconds is really long at all. Try 8 minutes! :/
