    Icon4 im tired of 30 turn waits for this mod....

    is there anyway to get rid of having to wait for 30 turns cuz of all the factions SS adds? i disabled show turns in the ingame options. but it still loads like 30 turns before i get to play again. its enough to make me not wanna play SS.

    i got 2 gb ram and a 9400gt card at 2.6 ghz dou core

    anyways to speed this up so ending my turn isnt a huge chore anymore?

    You mean turns take too long? SS is script heavy and there's not much to do about it. Which version you have? I have 6.1 because 6.3 was way too slow. 6.3 turns were about 35+ sec but 6.1 is around 10 sec.

    Ouch a 9400 GT that is a major problem there. And an upgrade in RAM would definetely help, 1333MHz DDR3 is certainly affordable

    Also what type of CPU do you have?
    Null

    it was givin to me. cant afford a gamin rig. any way to lower number of factions or SOMETHING so it does take so long? seems like 1 min wait in between turns. which would mean i usually wait 10+ min plus in between battle which makes game so boring

    There are submods like the one Brunotaurus links to.
    You should also be able to tab out and do something else while the game loads, rather than just sitting and watching the turn go by.

    Check out the submod forum, there are a few scripts that reduce the turn times.
    this one for example: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=472685

    I don't know what it does to the AI though and thus the game balance

    No way to remove factions without a TON of work.

    Firstly, more RAM is needed. Secondly, your GPU is abysmal. Lastly, you don't need all that much $coin$ to upgrade. I only spend about $200 (and that was well over a year ago), to upgrade my PC (which I bought in 2007). My turns only take a few seconds. As far as gaming goes the difference between DDR2 and DDR3 is negligible; just get a 4GB(800MHz) DDR2 stick and you'll be fine, it's the CPU and GPU that matter.

    A few seconds? I would love that! What's the rest of your system specs? I'm also thinking of upgrading my pc specifically for Stainless Steel (Shogun 2 left me wanting for more content).

    FALSE
    but in general a good upgrade for your computer isnt really all that expensive, assuming you buy the parts yourself. RAM especially is affordable and quite easy to put into your tower. A new video card is definetly needed imo but its a little tricky unplugging your old one from the PSU and plugging in your new one. If you have a friend who is computer savvy ask him to do it or for you or at least look over your shoulder!

    another question. when is the best time of the year to upgrade?
    I'm not in a hurry at the moment since I'm playing Panzer Corps and my divisions are getting near Moscow.

    If you have time, wait until the next generation consoles come out (playstation 4 etc).

    It's sad to say, but PC games become more and more influenced by the console market.

    As soon as consoles can display better graphics, the development of PC games will follow, not earlier.

    Buying your hardware at this time will keep you up to date for a while because there will be no major changes in graphic until the new consoles can't display it too (games getting released on two platforms etc)

    If it is just for Stainless Steel, don't bother.

    I don't think there really is a difference. When ever you upgrade, it's going to be outdated sooner or later. Like said build it yourself and you'll get the best price/quality ratio.
