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?

After reading this I added -cpu2 to my string, which previously had -SingleCPUOrders and several others. Gone are the days of click and wait. Everything runs great!

I think it was MichaelM that clarified that CPU1 is the default and the Windows OS runs most stuff on CPU 1, so that slows down the game. CPU2 can be used by other background utilities so MichaelM recommended CPU3 or CPU4 for the switch.

Just make sure it is -SingleCpuOrders not what you posted.
