[Beta3B][Performance][Crash][Bug] Tactical combat ran so slow first time i tried it

from Elemental Forums

So I tried tactical. It loaded slowly and just become more and more slow as it went on. Luckily it was a first turn win, but it took at least a minute for the enemy to fall down dead. The loading and then back to the game took maybe...8? minutes. I have advanced lighting turned off, though that is all. I attempted to load a save game to see if that would change things, but the game sat there and then I heard the error message beep, but the game would not alt-tab or crash to the desktop even. I went away for ten minutes and it was still the same.

Is this problem due to my computer or the game?

Update:

I was able to load the quick save I did before the battle. The tactical combat ran smoothly. However, when I came out of combat the game was running increadibly slow. Went to the main screen(new game, load, continue, etc.) and back to the game. This did not help. I quick saved again and attempted to load the game and had the same CTD as above, but this time the game did CTD and close.

I assume you do not need another dxdiag.txt file from this attempt, but just in case:

Also if a dev or someone knowledgable, are my comp speccs too low for this game? I close almost everything running on my comp when I attempt to play so there's not a lot of the CPU being used. I go through my programs int he task manager and none are saying they're taking up more than 8-10%. Most are 1-3%

Update #3:

Tried to load the quick save again, but it seems its repeatable that at least this particular quicksave will crash the game.

Let me know if all this info is too much for one post.
