patch request

Post by wizard8873 »

well, having a dual core kinda sucks in this game. i get negative cpu usage all the time and on small maps or with few people the screen skips
unit movement:
----> what i see
--> what actually is going on
so i have this scenario when a unit moves
----> ---> ----> ---->
---> --> --> --> --> ->

any chance you guys can get a patch out. not immediately, i know its not possible since its a lot of coding, but sometime in the future maybe? it just gets annoying in the game.

We need a developer with dual core who can actually notice this bug though, otherwise it's just too vague to fix.

frapsing a short video couldn't hurt...

[edit] there are other dual core TAS players that I know of... They've never complained of animation problems, maby it's not the dualies fault...
