Game slows to a crawl

Entrenchment is great so far.

I've run into many of the common bugs (Adjucator not firing after save & reload) during play

But the issue that's killing me is that when I play the game on any size map - about an hour into it as the number of ships & objects grows - the game slows down to crawl. No crashes, BSOD's or Minidumps yet & I've played about 12 hours total, maybe more. But the slow-down is god awful.

Hit us with a hot-fix or something!

Never had this issue with the original SoSA

System:

Windows XP SP3

CPU: AMD X2-6000

Mobo: ECS-KA3-MVP

RAM:2gb DDR2800

Video: 2x-ATI Radeon x1950 512mb - slowdown occurs regardless of whether I'm running crossfire or not.

Hard-drive:

2x74gb 10k WD Raptors configed in a RAID 0 array

Video Drivers ATI Catalyst 9.1

System runs clean & is always defragged

I increased my page file from 1024mb to 2048 which didn't help either...

Probably memory optimization issues. Setting the Page file up probably wouldn't help anyway, unless you have a high-performance gaming harddrive (10,000RPM+) you're still gonna eat tons of lag, since the page file is 99% of the time the most narrow bottleneck. I'm running 4GB (3.5 cause of 32bit OS ><!) and still get slowdown, but I always attributed that to my lulzy Processor and Graphics card (Ruled out graphics card cause setting on absolute lowest results in 0 performance increase from highest settings) that still leaves my AMD Athlon64 X2 4200+ as the failcomponent. Still, like you said, Original SoSE didn't slow down this bad, so I'm fairly sure it's just memory optimizations that the teams is still working on, as said in their update log.

Drop your texture settings to the lowest levels and see if that helps. That would atleast tell us if its a memory issue or not.
