Crippling Lag

from GalCiv2 Forums
When I first got the original GalCiv game, it played beautifully. It was agreat game overall, a little balance issues with the alignment thing, but overall it was good. Then DA came along and it was a much much better game. The lag was substantial but managable and still playable. And then when I got Twilight, my computer was brought to it's knees. Although it's still playable, the lag is terrible, even on the worst graphical setting. I know I have a crappy video card (intel integrated) but jez... you guys claim that everything uses less memory to function, and yet original galciv and DA works better.

Just wondering...

Heh I was about to say he shouldn't have to, until I noticed "intel integrated". Gah!

That's beyond crappy. I'm surprised it can run any modern 3D game without puking all over your motherboard.

Lukas, post your debug info so we can see what kind of system you are running, game settings, driver versions, etc.

Hello, Lukas. I am sorry that you are having a problem with the game. I am puzzled though. If you can run DL and DA at an acceptable level, then TA should run even better.

The problem is, you don't give enough information for us to begin to diagnose your problem. Could you tell us a bit more info about your system specs? Better yet, open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. You'll find the debug.err in: My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor

One more thing- I usually don't do this, but...@Skyjack and ansury, this is a fellow gamer asking for help, so keep your crappy little comments to yourselves. I'm sure that you are both fine fellows, but we hold ourselves to a higher standard on these forums.
