For those that complain that Windows 10 runs the game poorly:
For whatever reason I never combined the two switches in the title together until today.
I put them in today along with my normal selections which include:
-dd_sw -altFont -skipVideo -f -SingleCpuOrders -cpu8 -multiaudio -px1920 -py1080 -deepColor
My goodness...my game runs at breakneck speed now. I have run the game on many computers over the years, win7, win 8, many many linux platforms, and windows 10. .
Windows 10 is by far and away the best performance. Perhaps if I ran the current cpu in windows 7 it would surpass it, but all my machines that run that system are now aging gracefully.
BTW, the game runs equally as fast windowed and non standard resolutions after some quick testing.
Of course this is particular to my hardware, but it really is smoking fast!
I found out about that combo of switches some time ago. The one thing that is still slow during turn execution is the night phase Coastwatcher Reports. Even if I hit the Esc key, the game spends about 3 seconds at each location - but only on night phase. During the day it whistles through those reports per my settings.
Does your system have any slowness during night phase execution?
I am just playing the ai right now, and have combat animations and summaries off. I timed my last turn at 2 minutes and 14 seconds. Absolutely no delay with coastal watchers, in fact I have never had that slowdown. The longest slow down is calculating air superiority. After the replay, and entering orders the gui changes is super fast too. It was always more than acceptable, but now it is screaming fast.
Most times I click finish turn, and then alt tab out of the program and let it work in the background while I do something else. No problems.
