Been a Trekkie since about 1985, seen all of it, played only a few of the games (couple hundred hours of STO a few years ago, and a some hours in one of the FPS games), but I love these kinds of space empire build/strategy games... played almost all of them.
Found out about this game last year and have been super excited to try it.
Found out about this game last year and have been super excited to try it.
I am running a relatively modern budget [unbranded] desktop rig souped up to be a gaming PC
Athlon II x2 270, 3.4 ghz
win7 Home Sp1 (done most all the updates and .net framework stuff)
64-bit with 8 gb of RAM(upgraded from 4 when I had some issue with the unity engine i believe it was),
Geforce 660 ti 2gb ... my driver is not the latest one but it is still from March of this year, so not too old and runs things fine.
I'm having what tons of people complain about; super, nearly unplayable mouse and graphics lag/studdering when selecting or mouse-over certain icons/buttons.
I assume this is a result of running an old program with modern hardware... basically giving it access to way too much power.
So I tried what people said: [win 98/me compatability mode] and [run as administrator] they might have helped a tiny tiny tiny bit, but I dont think so.
I have turned off most of the overlay options... helped a tiny bit, but still, in the research database, for example, the icon/selection lag is awful.
I went to the geforce driver control center thingie icon at the lower right, and switched the global setting to always adjust for best performance in 3D applications (instead of autowhatever), and that actually did help the mouse to not disappear quite so much, though it still does with alarming frequency.
I am wondering if something like turning processor priority down would help? I have tried to do this but it gave me some sort of error when attempting to do it with the program running, which is the only way to do it that I know of.
Or some other way of decreasing the available resources to the program?
so here I am.
