Mud Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 Not sure if this should be here, since it concerns performance and specs, or just the general CM forum. I've got a 3-yr-old box (450MHz PII (Yes, I know. Maybe when the market recovers.), but partly updated, like the memory (384MB) and video card (MX400, but constrained by AGP1x SE440BX)). With large battlefields, would turning the camera to face off-map and disabling smoke, weather, et al help reduce turn computation time? Watching the replays is decent enough (Sherbrooke gets a bit slow), but the turn computations themselves can take a while for a large battle w/ numerous units and long LOS -- sometimes slow enough to wonder if an option to freeze rendering during computation would help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeWary Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 Well, you could try it, but I doubt it would make any difference. You're talking about turning off graphical options, which would be mainly handled by your graphics card. The CPU is going to handle all of the turn computations.

WWB Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 One thing which will be painful, but will definitely help your computation times, would be a good ol windows reinstall. Note that it will not help if it has been done within the last 6 months, but any configuration older should be remade. You will be amazed at how much quicker it gets.
