Any suggestions for improving performance?

February 10, 2007 8:28 PM from

What are some good tips for increasing performance on a pentium 4 2.5 ghz machine? I'm using an old intel imbed graphics card. It's a 2002 system... shitty. For the most part, everything runs okay... at first. Further into the game though, it bogs down and there are some excruciating wait times between turns. That's the only problem I'm having really (slow wait times in mid-late games) aside from choppy Combat viewer sequences. So is there anything I can do to get it to run better aside from buying a new machine? Thanks in advance. (by the way, just bought Dark Avatar today! AMAZING GAME!!)

How much RAM do you have, and how big is your virtual memory set? That aside, integrated graphics are going to be a big bottleneck any way you dice it. As far as that goes, all that can really be done is to turn everything down that you can, and play in tactical view.

I have 512 megabytes of Ram and the card has a max 64 memory. Yeah integrated sucks. lol.
