Sorry for double posting Ok: Here is the very ugly and dirty workaround to reduce the heavy RAM-usage until there is a proper solution. 1. Go to your steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\Gfx\Models\Ships\Textures 2. Sort files by size and delete all files above 5 mb [e digicons]:omg:[/e] Notice: You should make a backup of the files first, but when moving the
This hasn't stopped bothering me. Meanwhile i updated the graphic drivers, played around with the prefs.ini and relocated the pagefile while increasing it to 6 GB to a different physical drive without any difference. I found that when you completely zoom out (might take a bit), you can edge-scroll and jump by minimap pretty nicely. The further you zoom in it's getting worse. Zoom Level 1 (completely zoomed out) working nice 2 still nice, small la
[quote who="The_Gear" reply="10" id="3592578"] This Prefs file may help you run a smoother game:[/quote] Sadly, this hasn't worked. I just updated my ticket and attached the .zip Looks like scrolling the map favours causing a freeze. like clicking the minimap a few times or entering a planet which is also performing a mapscroll. But may also happen when hovering a button.
Well, i just reloaded campaign map 2. Took just a few turns to reproduce that common freeze. Memory usage was around 70% total (~1.6 GB Civ3), CPU at 30%, no peaks, but the HDD peaked in writingspeed, pagefile.sys to be specific and causing unusual page faults resulting in that freeze. I have no other game or program causing that problem. Including large scale games, games with heavy video usage or rendering software. And it's repeate
Same here. Running nice and smoothly with heavy freezes that take minutes (!) to resolve. My System Specs are: Win7 - 64bit Phenom II X4 945 4 GB Ram Radeon 6870 I know it's not high end, but honestly GalCiv3 isnt technically a breakthrough too. If the game requires better hardware to even run campaign map 1, then (sorry) it's just bad code imo.
