I've noticed with my current game that its taking longer and longer to load it up. Every time I save, load the game or come back from alt-tabbing it takes noticably a lot longer for the game to fully load. The game is a large or so galaxy with about 5 races and above normal amount planes. I can't say what turn im on for sure, but its pretty far along, probably 500+ give or take a 100. The thing was that at the beginning it took at most 5 seconds to load and a second to save, where now it can take a whole minute to load and a quite a few seconds to save. I was just wondering if this was normal with larger games that have been going on for a bit or possibly something else.
BTW I'm running the first official patch and my computer is 3.2ghz, ati x850 and a gig of ram, win xp. I don't run anything else when im playing except Trillian so I don't think its software. Any ideas would be appreciated.
