Kind regards,

Rasmus

Status: offline 		on my 64 bit laptop, the only real slow down I see, is when trade routes is picked and I move across the map, then the routes stop, until I stop the scrolling

if I mouse over a province and click on the quick build Icon, then the mouse seems a little slower on the scroll, while that province is still clicked on, but I see a slight slow down, not what has been seen by the others

so I am not sure

Status: offline 		Ok guys, might have solved this. I have 2 mice in my device manager. HID-compliant mouse and my Microsoft Optical Trackball. I disabled the HID compliant mouse and reloaded COG with Advanced Economy. I am happy to report that the lag is IMPROVED but NOT ELIMINATED. For me, at least, it is moderately playable with small annoyances rather than totally unplayable. Going to try disbaling the other mouse and enabling HID-compliant mouse to see if I get anything different. Will report back if hings change.

Eric, still need a fix on this, but this info may help out.

Edit: Lag is very bad on the trade map view, however.

Yes, this is my definite impression too.
And the game nearly comes to a stop when turning on the trade route overlay.

Status: offline 		This issue is my top priority right now.  My hypothesis is that on certain machines the data-refresh routine is being triggered more frequently than normal.  I'm working on a way to short circuit this and avoid this data-refresh except when absolutely necessary.

Perhaps when it's ready we can make a beta copy of the update available to those on this thread who are having the lag problems so that we can test the fix.

Status: offline 		As posted in the Development Forum - I also get this problem quite severely and this is even with Simple Economy. This problem for me is cumulative. I can click on units and move them but afte I have moved 2 or 3 units the game siezes up. If I save the game and load it again then I can move several more units and so on...

I am running XP Pro on a Toshiba Laptop with 2GB Memory - laptop is about a year old. Have postd the DXDIAG on the Dev Forum.

Status: offline 		Those of you in the public forum who are experiencing this issue and would like to help us out, I have a beta build I'd like to share with you in exchange for your feedback on whether it helps out with this problem. This would involve signing our beta test NDA and joining the COG: EE beta team, though you're not obligated to do any testing beyond helping us with feedback on beta builds regarding this one issue. If you're interested, please e-mail me at erikr@matrixgames.com. Thanks.
