Performance problems

from GalCiv4 Forums

Good afternoon!  After updating to 4.0, the game is unplayable after about 200 turns.  Some of the turns take 20 seconds to complete (reasonable) but then about every 3-5 turns frame rate drops and turns take 5+ minutes to complete.

Prior to 4.0, my laptop ran the game easily.  System specs are as follows:  64-bit, Windows 11, Intel Core Ultra 9 (2.7 MHz, 24 cores), 32 gigs RAM, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.  

I very much enjoy the game but I can’t play with the current performance.

Yeah, I've been seeing the same thing on my system. I used to run maximum galaxy size, with most sectors, with all the canon civs. Until this get fix, I just run 10-12 civs with a couple of sectors to try and reduce the issue.

Do you happen to have a save file you could share of that game ? Come over on discord if you do and post in the in latest sitrep or just gc4-commons.

Perfect. The more examples the devs can get of this issue, the most chance we got they'll figure it out and fix it up for us!

Just like to 2nd this. I've got almost exactly the same system as op, and around early to mid game (I have settings for very slow game) I'm getting 30fps at all levels of zoom. Playing 4.1.1.
