Turn Times...This Cant Be Real.

[AeRo1226]

So I just downloaded and installed SS6.4, Which looks like a great mod btw, But theres a BIG problem.

I just started a campaign as england, finished my turn, and it literally took 10 minutes to go through the factions and get back to me. Yes, I have that mod enabled that makes it 100% slower, but still. Even if I disable that, I really dont see how turns can take 5 minutes?

Does everyone play through this or is there something i can do that im missing?

(I play EB mod for Rome Total War, which is pretty big, and that still doesnt even come close to being this slow..)

[Sanderlicious]

No problems here. Definitely shouldn't take that long.

Sounds like that submod is running a lot of scripts? Grim Reality? That does slow things down, but not to that extent that I am aware of...

[AeRo1226]

I just turned it off, and while it did improve things, the turns still took 5 or more minutes...Obviously i cant play like this because itll only get worse throughout the game.

I am not an expert on solving the turn time thing since I've never had a problem with it, but there are a couple faster turn time submods that you can look at.

I don't get like 10 mins , but maximum 2 minutes. Meh , I don't bother with it too much , try to do some stuff after you end your turn I usually play with my puppy :d

Remember , SS has a lot of scripts and modifications , it's normally that it takes so long If you want , you could disable most of the scripts and get - 2 minutes at max but that would take all of the flavour of the mod

This is the most practical solution

If you can't fix it, than read a book, do some push ups, watch some educational programming, have sex (alone or not. Nobody is judging here...), or make pancakes... or play a different mod.

Might be something with your machine. I run BGR with 6.4 and it starts at about 30 seconds per turn.

By turn 100-150, it is up to 2-3 minutes per turn, but rarely ever 5 minutes, and Ive never seen 10.

My turns also take a lot of time, at start it is about 2 - 3 minutes, after turn 50 it goes to 4 mins, and i cant even imagine what it takes in turns 200 - 400.

I just read 'Il Principe' through the turn times

You would laugh about how fast people can read a 7-book saga with over 700 pages each if they just wanted to play computer games.

@OP:
Make sure your SS installation is NOT ON YOUR C: DRIVE!

I had the exact same problem like you, and when I reinstalled M2TW on my D: drive my turn times went from 10 minutes to 2 minutes (with BGR enabled).

[AeRo1226]

Of course its on my C drive, thats where steam is...id have to move steam over as well then....?

[Bringer Of Storms]

I don't think the drive has anything to do with it. That's where my game is installed as well, and I've never had a turn time longer than 1 minute, even in to the turn 100's.

[AeRo1226]

Hey can you guys post your computer specs? The ones with the 30 sec-1 min turn times...

Im lagging on the campaign map itself, when i move someone it freezes inbetween them moving. I thought i had a computer to handle this...never had a problem with any other game before this at all and ive played some demanding games...

I have 7 GB of Ram..
Nvidia 560 TI graphics card
And a dual core 2.6 Ghz processer- yes, its not the best, but as i said before never had any problems.

This isn't really a game that's meant to be played super fast anyways.

My experience has been like 2 or 3 mins between turns like others. My computer is pretty bad also.

Although I notice on the hotseat games I've played with stainless steel the turn changes seem pretty instant, even if there are 3 or 4 AI factions between human players.

I have the same issue, trough my pc is quite old. You should reduce the shadows on campaign map, it should speed up the movement.

[GiddeeUpp]

It would affect it having on C drive, thats where windows is... NEVER install games, etc on same drive as windows. Obvious

[SRACon17]

just turn off user account control. then you won't have to worry about installing in c drive or wherever
