Game going sometimes very slow

[tonda]

Hi, I have latest TTD patch (alpha 50) and during the game, game sometimes slow down. In this state run slowly sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes 2 hours. "Slowly" I means that if I unpause game then for example plain fly step by step, it seems like some frames by second is missing.
After any time is going from slow mode to the fast mode and it is OK.
Do someone know where is propably problem?
Thanks a lot,
Tonda

Is it possible you got many train junctions ?

I have a similar problem when i have massive amounts of PBS junctions, although not as extreme - sometimes the game will freeze for a second, very rare though. what are your system specs? if you have a slow processor that could be a problem... i'm running AMD Athlon XP 2400Ghz

Hi, I have TOSHIBA notebook Celeron1800, 512MB RAM

Problem is only sometimes, I playing game for example 3 hours and during this playing game working OK, all is continuous. At once, game going slow, all units in game is "snatchy" (is this the right word?), after 20 minutes game going faster and it is OK, all is continuous again. I think there is not propably problem with hardware.
I have DirectX9.0, WinXP.
I think there isn't problem with number with junction, I has cca 20 trains during this problems. After that I was cca 100 trains in game and problems doesn't exists.
I don't have problems with freezing, always game going, but sometimes
very slowly.
Thanks a lot.

My game usually slows down after playing it for a long amount of time.

There are many possibilities for the game slowing down, most of them are outside factors. For example, your operating system might decide to run the program that indexes your files for faster search. Or your laptop might decide it's getting a bit warm and throttle the CPU.
