Military advisor screen moving real slow.

I Am Jeff · November 24, 2002, 23:59

It takes forever for it to scroll up and down on this screen. Now that I have spys it is a pain to look at what the other civs have. It never ran slow like this on regular civ3. Anyone else have this problem?

vmxa1 · November 25, 2002, 00:24

I have not noticed it, but someone else made this complaint. I think that they had a solid system, so that was not the reason.

I Am Jeff · November 25, 2002, 00:39

The thing is this did not happen to me on regular civ3. Only happend when I got ptw.

aebrahim · November 25, 2002, 02:59

Yeah, I have the same problem. My system is a P4-1.7GHz with 512MB RAM. Scrolling in the Military Advisor is really slow, and it makes looking at stuff a real pain. I'm using PTW 1.04f on Windows XP Professional.

Martock · November 25, 2002, 22:58

it's happened on my PC as well and it's been happening in every game i've played. i don't think it matters how many opponents you have in the game as i've played 3 games now with PTW and they ranged from a 6 player game (single player on all of them) , to a 10 player game, and now on my current 16 player game. once spies arrive, the screen starts to go backwards in it's speed. i hope this gets fixed cuz it makes it quite impossible to view this screen.

Fosse · November 26, 2002, 02:24

I too am plauged by this. Any mouse click anywhere on the screen takes between thirty seconds to several minutes to cause any reaction.

I don't even bother planting spies anymore, because looking at the enemy's army nubmers is far too tedious.

Yeah I've had the same problem with the Military Advisor screen. It was fine in Civ3, and only slowed down in PTW. I also noticed other massive slowdowns (e.g., harbors take even longer to be built than in Civ3, cities take longer to be built, turns are generally longer, etc.)

The F3 screen will refresh slightly faster if on your civ you have selected units by city. If you select units available in civ, it is very slow.

Why the hell is that though?

It went nice and fast on civ3, but it goes painfully slow in PTW.

player1 · November 26, 2002, 23:19

By the way.
Is this thing fixed with new 1.14f patch, or is still there?

Martock · December 1, 2002, 00:39

alas it's not been fixed in the recent patch. it's still a nightmare trying to do anything in this window.

any chance of this being addressed in the next patch? that screen is sorely missed by my spies...

player1 · December 1, 2002, 10:34

This should be reported in BUG thread.

I Am Jeff · December 1, 2002, 23:44

I actually posted this on the 1.04f bug thread, around page 5-7 I believe. I got no reasponse about it after a couple of days, everyone was nagging about mp.

Martock · December 2, 2002, 00:22

i think i added it to the bug report as well the other night. if i haven't, i'll definitely do so tonight.

Martock · December 2, 2002, 15:08

BUMP....keeping this alive until it's corrected.

Martock · December 3, 2002, 21:56

BUMP.....

anyone else experiencing this problem?? this is the only screen that is so slow as to be virtually useless.

ChaotikVisions · December 3, 2002, 22:11

I'm experiencing it, but not to the extent some others are it seems. Just have a slight delay before it'll switch between viewing various militarys and changing from city/unit view.

Soltz · December 3, 2002, 23:46

I've noticed that this screen is definitely slower.

Aro · December 4, 2002, 00:13

I'm using Windows XP. I've noticed the problem and I'm suspecting that Win XP memory's management could be cause of this. Has anyone experienced this in another OS?

Bone · December 4, 2002, 01:37

It happens on my ME system (don't laugh, it's best I got)... it's the only one that's slow on mine.

Well, another good theory goes to the trash can...

I Am Jeff · December 6, 2002, 18:48

I was in the civfanatics chat and Jeff Morris said that this bug will be fixed.

player1 · December 6, 2002, 18:57

Cool!

Captain THC · December 6, 2002, 20:41

Running Windows 98, still happening to me.

Martock · December 7, 2002, 16:35

i'm running windows 2000 professional and i'm very happy to hear that the problem will be addressed in the next patch.

Chuckles · December 9, 2002, 03:08

OMG this just happened to me. I thought it was fine. It sucks bad. You can't do anything it is so bad. WinXP.

player1 · December 9, 2002, 06:44

Win98 (1st ed.)

Same thing.

Good News!!!!

But, Firaxis... When?

I Am Jeff · December 10, 2002, 17:31

He just said it would be fixed, which means it could be the next patch or some time after that. I would guess that it would be in the next patch, since this bug has existed since 1.04f.

WarpStorm · December 10, 2002, 17:47

This bug existed in Civ3.
