Hi all, I posted the other day that the game is of rock solid construction and i was most impressed and I still am...
but...
I am trying to complete a 108 planet map against six A.I.s, ive had to double the fleet size manually to hold down such a vast expanse, the problem is that now that my empire has expanded to some 50+ worlds and I have maxed my fleet (as has the A.I. presumably)i get a seven second pause every fifteen seconds. *sigh*
The problem lies not with my pc im afraid owing to the fact that its a quad core, 4 gig of ram, win7, dual 4870 graphics cards, but lies in the major major pain in the butt that this game has, something that i did not know to begin with, that is, it can only use a single core, which to me for a game capable of this size and scale that was made this recently seems to be a mind boggling oversight given dual cores have been available since 2003,
Now im not complaining, it is what it is. But is there anything I can modify in the game code to magically boost performance? Ive already ramped my Q6600 up to 3.2Ghz per core and my rams near to flames at 880mhz
why couldnt it use more than one core... just one more tiny core, that all I ask... I have all this power, 12.8Ghz of juicy CPU ripe for this scale of gameplay and it just wont use it... *sobs* one more core and it would have been perfect
