IMHO the issue isn't what 'highlight' the unit portrays in the unit list when its selected, what it has now ( the banner with name lights up) is fine with me, its the Lag between selection and highlighting both ON the map and, the UL.

I have the game running about as fast as its going to get for me on a laptop, ( 3 gb quad core), in admin mode, no scrolling, transparent labels,prompt for scenario off, no sound at all etc. but the Lag re;selecting a unit using the UL is 5-10 seconds, further, it takes that long for it to highlight in the UL after I have selected it on the map as well.........on the map when I point the hotspot on a unit(s), I have to click multiple times to even display in the hex, so I CAN select one...

That sounds like one of those (few) cases where your system doesn't like the game for some reason. For most players, the game is not that way at all.

I thought you had reported a fix for these issues here:

https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=5132256

Very strange that it doesn't work right, then it does, then it doesn't again.

Is your anti-virus software perhaps messing with the game? I have experienced instances of that. (Not with our game but with other software.)

Again, you had best rely on Matrix/Slitherine Tech Support to fix this permanently for you.

Thats interesting Carl.

I dont get those lags at all.

I assume your laptop meets minimum specs for the game ?

Hi Berto, yes it has improved in every area ( units moving, speed etc.) re; my original report, and this got better too, but this issue though better still , well, lags;)

I use spyhunter which grants full access rights , MS defender which is a cpu hog, is off.

I have an older laptop with

Steam

McAfee Anti-Virus

Dell phone-home system apps

not to mention (irony)

Microsoft phone-home services and system apps

that, in the right combination -- too often! -- slows that system to a crawl. (My fundamental mistake was to buy a laptop with an old-fashioned physical hard disk, not an SSD. The hard drive is often at 100%, often too the CPU usage %.)

It could be that, it could be drivers, it could be anything.

Although your situation is better, I agree it's still not right, not WAD at all. Continue to raise the issue with Matrix/Slitherine Tech Support. We developers are not equipped nor do we have the know-how to assist you with system level issues. Good luck.
