Status: offline 		Hello,

I'm starting with 41 campaign.

I have a hudge delay (several seconds) between the pop-up of combat window which is immediate and the actual start of combat (numbers are changing).
I have a fairly recent computer and everything else works fine.

Any idea ??

I also note that my CPU usage for WitE never goes above 40-50% when playing the AI. I am wondering if it is AI related b/c it appears that when I play both sides Human that combat resolves quickly.

Dual Core Intel 7450 2.16GHz; 6 GB RAM. Win 7; running in Basic mode. Nothing else running except the manual open in acrobat.

In 1.01 we did air strike forming functions to be more responsive (to avoid black screens), but this also means higher resolution time. Will try to optimize it, but air strike forming is still quite complex.

Status: offline 		Hmm - I guess I am not being clear in what I see.

1) After restarting the game, it runs fine - very little delay. I have an avi of this.

2) After running several turns, combat formation runs very slowly.

So - the combat screen comes up and lists the units on each side. Then, there is a delay. The delay is very long after playing for a while; upon a restart though, the same scenario and similar combats, the delay is very short.

Notice it is clean and fast. This would tend to point to a leak or something if the delay builds up after many many battles?

Status: offline 		I should say that lest it sound like I am complaining too much, great game! I thought there were things from production ,etc in WiR that I would miss, but, this game is the best I have seen for operational land combat. I am certain it will only get better as well as the patches and upgrades come out.

Thanks again!

Let me know if I need to upload more screen capture files or provide any additional data.

Status: offline 		Thanks you for the avi files. It looks odd. I've tried to play a little 1944 and didn't see any slowdowns. But I'm playing 1.01+ version with some bugs fixed. Will ask our testers to check this out.
