rocketman Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I have noted, for all the CM2 games, that it takes longer to load a battle, load a save of a battle and load the 3d preview of a map in the editor. Even for medium sized ones in a way I can't recall having ever before. Is my PC getting old all of a sudden or has anyone else noticed? I haven't added any mods or upped graphics settings that would explain this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I think you may be right, it's marginal, but it does seem a bit slower to me too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf65 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Actually, my load time for the CMBN editor actually seems to be running faster. So, I don't know why it may be running slower for some. Might be a question of the amount of RAM you have. Right now, I have 16 Gb of DDR 3 running at 1300 Mhz but I'm going to be upping it to a max total of 32 Gb in the next month or so. Edited July 3, 2019 by WhiteWolf65 Forgot to finish my thought, and then a word. Sheesh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I have pretty much the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slysniper Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 when you mean longer, how much longer. What is the difference, it helps to be clear as to what you are experiencing. Like a certain file which was taking 2:00, is now 2:30 minutes.   0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it be avoided in any way? There were some security vulnerabilities releases recently that showed hot some of Intel's look a head instructions could be abused. The solution was to change the OS (I think it was an OS change) to not do that anymore. The end result is that everyone's computer is a little slower now. Found the latest. The Spector and meltdown were what I was thinking of. https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2019/05/14/zombieload-flaw-intel-processors/amp/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when the game is loaded it runs as usual with no hint of frame rate drop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin2k Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) Here is a small tool that sheds light on the situation with the mentioned CPU vulnerabilities from last year, and the possible Microcode and/or Windows tweaks. https://www.grc.com/inspectre.htm Edited July 15, 2019 by Kevin2k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
