Game got slow with release [1.00]

October 24, 2012 4:49:00 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

i preordered the game about a month ago on steam and played it a good 48 hours finishing it with every winning condition. Now after it finally released for real i make a new game go in it and the game runs slow. Just feels extreeemly slow when i move around on the map, or go tactical, like my pc suddenly cant run it propelly anymores?

I noticed a slower tactical combat last night as well.  You can speed up tactical in the options menu.

 

Not sure about strategic map

Yes, if you mean the animation speed you can change that in your game options.

it isnt the animation the gmae just isnt smooth anymore, it is slow in a sence if u played some high requirement game on a bad pc and turned all the specs on high, so the game dosnt run smooth anymore. In strategic view the game feels very unsmooth that it is unplayeble

I also noticed an immediate difference after switching over to 1.0. It used to take <1 second between turns, but after 1.0 it's taking more like 15 seconds. I'm not having issues with anything else; tactical battles or moving around the map works fine.

Does you vid card run optimus? If so you may need to set it to run your 540M card in the nVidia control panel.

Switchable video. Your laptop has an integrated and discrete video card and uses both, depending on the program. Not all laptops have it, but the laptop you listed could have it, it has the right kind of hardware. In that case, with an unknown program like FE (unknown since it is newer than the nVidia drivers) you might have to manually tell it to use the discrete card.

That's one thing.

But regardless of the cause, it's something I"m very very interested in.

This is my life now:

You guys play your so-called video game. This game I'm playing (the one in the screenshot) has it all. Graphs. Graphs. and more Graphs!

Here's a screenshot from the nVidia control panel. Check here to see if you are using the nVidia card

Under 2. This should be set to use High-Performance NVIDIA processor. I've this set as default for all my programs, it drains battery faster that is why they set it off by default.

i made it from nivida controll pannel so it will always use the nivida video card.

 

Is there any negative side to that? whats the other CPU or... what ever the thing it wants to run on, is that inportant?

It's only there to conserve battery.

I tend to play these games plugged in the wall, so I don't worry about battery consumption loss. but if you play without your plug you may consider not forcing all programs to run solely on the nVidia card.
