Help with lagging

Well, I was playing a Genoa campaign yesterday and I noticed that after ending the turn it took a ridiculous amount of time for all of the factions to finish. Please help with this problem, thank you. I would greatly appreciate it.

This problem is very common in SS, especially with certain mods turned on like BGR. If you search the forum you will find it comes up pretty regularly.

As far as I know there is very little you can do about it, short of upgrading your machine (particularly your processor) or removing some mods. Some people have come up with some small tweaks that help it a little.

Don't forget you can alt+tab out of the game and do other things during the ai turns.

I have something to add, which might actually be of help. I had a very similar problem when I first installed SS. My turn times were HORRIBLE (about 10-12 minutes each).

However, that changed, RADICALLY, once I reinstalled M2TW (my system crashed) in a different location.
Originally, I had M2TW installed in C:\Games\M2TW.
Now I have it installed in D:\Igre(nevermind this folder name, any other should work the same)\M2TW.

My usual turn time is about 1.5-2 minutes now.

BTW I read posts from few other people that are claiming that reinstalling M2TW in a different location helps.

What do you mean by different location? For instance a smaller folder? I have it in C:\Program Files\SEGA, is it good enough?

I`d advise moving your installation of M2TW from your system partition to another partition (lets say partition D). It might help you. It worked for me.

If it`s too much of a hassle, or you have only 1 partition, tough luck then.
