Turns take FOREVER!

[Fingy]

I timed each turn in my British campaign. The ai takes 16-20 minutes to take its turn! It just gets worse as the game goes on. Any solutions?

 

[Stoferr]

Any mods installed?

 

[Fingy]

I'm using the radious mod pack. It allows for unlimited recruitment of elite units.

Does it hold on a specific faction symbol? For example does it hang on say Sweden for 2 minutes, but the rest move along pretty fast. Or is it that the flag cycling is slow in general.

If it's the first well that just seems to be a quirk of the AI when it get's big. if it's the second then you're processor may not be up to speed.

 

[Fingy]

It lags on just about all the flags.

 

[Their Law]

What's you're processor speed? Also was it always this slow or did it become slow as the campaign progressed.

Try a new campaign and see if it happens.

Turns do take a long time in the late campaign, but it shouldn't be anywhere near as bad as you're experiencing. Either you have a very slow system or something is wrong with your install.

I often have the Ottomans take about 4 minutes for their turn while the rest remains quick, but then again I'm using DarthMod, so might be related to that.

 

[Ænema]

I too. It takes forever. Also, when the Flags hit Poland, my game minimizes to desktop...

Any idea? I DONT have any mods playing, it's just vanilla.

 

[Fingy]

It used to be quick but the turns have taken progressively longer. I'm in 1896 right now.

processor: AMD Phenom 8450 triplel core processor 2.10 GHz

I dont think it would be my processor since the campaign and the battles have zero lag.

Sweden was taking forever on my last campaign. I think this was the reason:

Spoiler

I dont know why they were not grouping their units.

Heres what you do! click in the options do not show AI turns! YAY

did that two months ago, but it didnt help.

i have the same problem from time to time. it happens frequently and the saves are more or less lost if you dont wanna spent 5-10mins per turn. had it with and without mods. cpu and gpu are really capable and 3gb ram have no probs at all generally. the system is fast and fine, but in late campaigns with 100+ turns it gets slower and slower, until it sometimes takes 10mins per turn, stopping at ONE faction, that varies from campaign to campaign. game speed is on fast (space pressed) and ai turns are not being shown.

Anyone have their game minimize while waiting for the next turn>

I had much lower processor than that but my turns ranging from 4-5 minutes (after patch 1.4). Make sure don't have anything else running in the background. Granted it was early in the campaign but now I'm playing Warpaths until I get a new rig. At least there's not many factions in that campaign so the turns are very fast.

 

[Saint Nicholas]

I think it is a side effect of 1.5. AI factions seem to have MANY small armies now, hardly any large forces. It would make sense that all these armies moving around the world would make the time between turns much longer.

I have a computer, and it takes about 15 seconds. Fully patched and all. Totally un-modded.

Playing APE:TI as Great Britain, Poland-Lithuania is a superpower conquering the Ottoman territories at a frightening pace. Or it would be frightening if P-L didn't spend 20 minutes taking it's turn. I think this is due to not being able to work out how to cross into Turkey from Istanbul, they have 15+ small stacks sitting near Istanbul.

YEAH DUDE TOTALLY!!! and i have no idea why...

 

[Abadagoulous]

So when I get a new computer, it should run incredibly quick (even with mods installed)?
