Insane Lag Happened Overnight

[oberon711]

I played in the afternoon on Saturday, August 19 and everything was working (mostly) fine.

Then, I tried to play again Sunday night and there was sudden lag that rendered the game unplayable. All of my graphic settings are on the lowest possible setting. I set resolution to the lowest setting. I removed all mods. None of this has worked.

I am currently re-installing to see if that fixes it, but since everything that I have done so far has been met with failure, I do not have high hopes.

Is this a known problem, or am I the anomaly? If so, how can I get it repaired so that I can play again?

[oberon711]

Re-installed. Updated drivers. Changed application priority. Adjusted the graphical settings six ways til Sunday.

The lag is still there -- nothing that I do seems to help.

Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions? Is anyone else experiencing this kind of issue? Would love to get some suggestions of what to try.

Are you running experimental or stable?

[oberon711]

Tried both. I started on experimental, which is what I thought caused the lag. So, I rolled back to stable and imported. Still there.

try posting your system specs,

does it still happen in a new game? It's likely something in your savegame, zip it up and send it to me

Like I said, nothing special.

Can you zip up your savegame file, the one with the lag, and attach it to your post here?

[oberon711]

So, I started a new game (vanilla), and the lag was gone. I played for about 10 hours before adding any mods (to try and replicate the issue on the other game).

I was able to add several mods before I got any lag. So, I loaded my old game (the one with the lag), and it was working fine.

Any thoughts on why this would have been? I had a few mods, but certainly not THAT many.

[Hatsune_Neko]

depends on what the mods did and how they changed the game.

[oberon711]

Well, current state is stable. I'm only getting around 10-15 FPS on average, but that it running a fairly large squad with several large mods (Omega Supreme, New Recruits, Shops Have More Money, Recruit Prisoners, Storage).

If it stays at this range, it is playable; so, for now, everything seems to be running properly.

Thanks for all of your input.
