Very Slow Battle Sequences

April 29, 2009 2:53:12 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I just downloaded GalCivI onto my laptop, apparently without any problems.  I have a new laptop; Core2Duo with 1.6 gig processor, 2 G of Ram, and an integrated video card with 128 Mb of video memory running on Vista Basic.  The game runs fine until there is a battle between ships or between ships and a starbase.  Battle sequences can take up to five mintes!  I really like the game, but have to see some improvement.  What gives with my setup?

Very slow combat animations in GC1 was actually an issue I experienced myself back in my pre-Stardock days. Unfortunately, despite a number of personal test builds from Cari, I don't recall it ever being resolved. So the simplest option is to just disable the combat animations.

OK, how do I disable them?  Is that an option on the Main Menu I am missing?

I don't have the game installed right now to check, but it should be a setting in the options, yes.
