Game Performance
Published on Friday, September 30, 2022 By
Guys,
Recently purchased GalCiv IV. There is a lot of good stuff in this title.
A lot of the newer artwork is very crisp and looks stunning.
However, the game performance, particularly involving the UI performance, is lackluster and often detracts from enjoying the game.
Added to this, there is very little in terms of "Options" to allow me to disable or customize most of this.
For example, just turning off Leader animations or sprite animations could potentially help in reducing overall CPU/GPU demands.
My system configuration is not cutting edge, but it should be sufficient to play a typical 4x game. I will say that I have these issues with other games like Civ VI - or at least they offer me the ability to turn off graphics features that impede their performance.
Additionally, I am playing with a very nice 43" display running at 4096 x 2160. I would very much like to enjoy the game at this resolution, as I have aged and seem to need it now.
If there is some config file I could manually adjust / tweak, feel free to point me in that direction.
Sincerely,
Mark
