tsewehtniraw -> RE: AI turn is taking forever (3/4/2015 5:54:13 PM)

I will add my 2 cents and chime in regarding this issue. I initially installed the beta 1.0.21 on my 7 year old Vaio VGN-FZ260E laptop running Win7. I ran a computer vs. computer simulation of the Husky scenario. I experienced a perceived lag on turn 2 when the allied AI was stuck at 31% resolving ground attacks for aprox. 7 minutes before it continued. Curious to see if this was a machine issue, I uninstalled the game from my laptop and temporarily installed on a less than 1 year old machine with an i5 processor and 8GB of RAM. It ran slightly faster, but it still encountered the exact lag at the same place under the same options as the laptop. I then loaded the full campaign and ran with the same lag. After further testing, I realized that combat resolution settings dramatically impact the times between phases. Setting resolution to 0 the time to calculate the 7th Army and 8th BR Army reduced from 7 minutes to 2:24. So really, no problem after all. However, I am very curious why the windows 7 busy "blue circle" only appears during AI logistics for both Allied and Axis and then disappears during the save. Hmmmm.... Perhaps this is simply a perceptual issue due to slower machines taking more time to process higher combat resolutions. I have since reinstalled to my laptop.
