[quote who="pendrokar" reply="3" id="3570984"] It turns out there's a HARD-CODED requirement to have the PlanetaryInvasion tech before you can invade. If I try to invade now I get a popup telling me I need the planetary Invasion tech. So a ship with a Transport Module still receives this pop-up when invading? If yes, then this sounds like a game bug. [/quote] Surprise surprise.

Reply to Long turn times inbetween turns (1 Cause Found/solution suggested) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

It isn't quite 2 minutes for me yet but it is well over 5 seconds from the beginning and each turn that is processed it gets a bit longer and longer and longer, until around turn 200 its like gee KD go grab a snickers, and eventually its go change the laundry and eventually the choice becomes go outside and go for a walk or go play something else and I end up putting GCIII aside. I know there is a decent game buried under all the rough edges but it just need a good 6mo-1yr of FIXIN.

[quote who="dansiegel30" reply="2" id="3570672"] I am supposing that they have to handle all ship moves in a realtime fashion, so that they can give you the benefit of watching enemy ships during the turn processing. Albiet this is extremely useful in certain situations (early and early-mid game, where you are focused on 1-2 battles or enemy ship moves), it does certainly contribute to mid and mid-late game slow down, and it much less useful later in the game. I'd like to

[quote who="Suomi Sotilashenkilo" reply="11" id="3569269"] The biggest problems with games that have both tactical and strategic modes are: 1.) Resources need to be allocated to fund two major projects rather than one. Right now, this game is having trouble keeping up with the projects that they're currently working on and they're talking about people switching projects (since apparently spending over a year working on one thing gets dull). Even worse, the

I have looked at the Corsair h105, which I guess is pretty good for the FX-9590, which is a 225w CPU while the FX-8350 is a 125w cpu. Anyway the h105 is rated as good for the FX-9XXX so my understanding is it is great for the FX-8350. For about $100 I don't think you can go wrong and it is my next upgrade too. I am presently conservatively clocked at 4.6 on air cooling with an adjustable fan module. When I encode video or load it to max I bump the fan rpm to 1800 and I don't see

[quote who="dansiegel30" reply="17" id="3569527"] I cant get it to use more than 6 of my 8 processes. But that's really the OS's decision, not GC3s.

Now, if I happened to be doing a lot of other computing, like watching a movie, running huge excel file

I think the only proof here is that the code maybe takes advantage of all of the cores on the i5 and doesn't on the AMD because...? Intel brands the shit out of their stuff and spends almost as much on marketing as they do on R&D. You are paying as much for as much for marketing as base performance for a sliver more better performance overall on some tasks, and not at the same price. The only metric where i5 comes out ahead of an FX consistently is in IPC sin

Once the Altarians somehow manage to capture all of the advanced AI's planets, all of that AI's ships become pirates. These super powerful pirates roam around and cause grief for all of the surrounding civilizations. <

I doubt a system conflict. It is a newer system, built this year, running Win 7 64 bit and there are no other issues with it. It also renders video fine. What are your specs Larsenex, maybe Intel fares substantially better?

I have 8 logical cores, I can run the task manager and film it and show you what I'm seeing. I have 32GB of ram, it simply doesn't fill that either. The game plays from RAM as well as I have it installed on the RAM for faster access. Look if it wasn't playing the way rhinos screw I wouldn't be complaining at all. It isn't my system its the game. Yes it is an immense galaxy but I am taking out pirates as they suck and are poorly implemented. Next time
