Patch 2 wrecked Battle Map Performance/Civil War Mechanic needs to change

**DanMLee88** · September 18, 2013, 05:29 AM

Just as the title says: Patch 2 wrecked my battle map performance, and for many other people. Before we could run it within acceptable limits as long as not too many were present on the field. Now, even 2000 vs 2000 is getting stutters.

Civil War mechanic is also grossly simplistic and frankly pathetic. One of the biggest events for a faction and you just think to spawn a bunch of stacks and fleets? How about some depth and gradual incremental increase? I am not talking about the difficulty so much as it being such a half-assed bad mod like job CA did.

Any thoughts/Similar experiences or ideas for improvement?

Discuss.

Yeah, same thing happened to me. Game ran perfect for me until yesterday. Now I can't play a naval invasion battle because the units start to stutter. Camera works fine but units move so slow it becomes unplayable. Didn't happen until yesterday.

The stuttering of units issue was present in the original launch - for example the battle of carthage historical battle often had my units doing slide show on the walls. This patch made it many times worse however. Battles that previously had no problems are beginning to be unplayable.

Also, does anyone know if save games are compatible with patches?

its not save game compatible from my experience funny things will happen.

beta patch 1.5 was actually better for me in performance than the beta patch 2.0 which was basically 1.5 with some more stuff

Jack lusted has confirmed that it will be save game compatible.

beta patch 2, wasn't. and its the same damn thing

**DanMLee88** · September 18, 2013, 08:25 AM

We will see with this one. Lusted just posted on the other thread and he said it will be, so for once I might think about holding my breath.

I've been using. And old saved game post patch with no problems. End of turn much faster now. No real change (for me) on battle FPS.

your save games will be compatible with the new patch, but all save games with the new patch 2 will not work with older versions of the game.

on topic, I haven't experience any huge battles yet in my egypt camp. it would suck if the game stutters with just 2k v 2k battles.
