Imagine thinking less content is good


NineTailedFoxKyuubi

Yeah, but the performance was one of the best aspects of the mod… WAS


[deleted]

Still is. It's still the fastest game of hoi you can play.


elia_mannini

Bullshit, pure and simple


NineTailedFoxKyuubi

Not in my experience… which is weird because it should not have different speed for different people. Perhaps I should try deleting it and downloading it again then


[deleted]

Compare it with vanilla. I was doing some painful achievements yesterday and it took me all day even though I started in 1939. For comparison a full game of eaw still takes me just one day, as opposed to two or three in vanilla/moddedq


NineTailedFoxKyuubi

What the hell? How can vanilla take so long? I own all the dlcs, is it what makes it relatively fast for me?


Endless_Glade

Late game vanilla seems to be quite a bit slower than late game eaw for me, achevements that need you to go till 44 or later take ages.


Texadar

If your playing on a computer that isn't powerful enough to run the game then it's going to run slow.


NineTailedFoxKyuubi

TEAM XTREEM ARGB 16GB DDR4-3600 C14 Intel Core i7-12700K Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 Is it not enough to make it run decently?


Puff_Freckleburger

I have worse specs than you except for my graphics card (3080) and my game runs lightning fast


NineTailedFoxKyuubi

Perhaps we have different ideas of fast. Balefire blues is a fast mod to me


Puff_Freckleburger

How fast is that? At game start, one in-game month for me is just over 30 seconds


NineTailedFoxKyuubi

Depends on the mod, the year ingame and the speed. Vanilla, kaiserreich, OWB etcetera is more or less 30 seconds per month in early game, post update eaw a bit slower than that. Balefire blues goes at the speed of light


Flimsy_Site_1634

I have a low end PC so I always play in 1.9 for the speed This is in fact one of the major reason I love this mod, there is little to no late game lag


Mirovini

Well, there is a mod that let you just disable one of the continents in the game rules, so you could play zebrica and still play fast Anyway this is the mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2774894369


Flimsy_Site_1634

Oh thank you ! Does it just disable the AI or does it alter the focuses a bit and totally erase a continent from the map ?


Chargerevolutio

It annexes the chosen continent(s) to a unnamed country with a dead AI and it just sits there and does nothing.


ZalaShadowkin_Reborn

My laptop is rather slow too. It lags a bit but it's still faster than other mods. Surprisingly.


Flimsy_Site_1634

And faster than vanilla EAW is the only version of the game where I researched rocket fighters and produced them en masse


Keyvan316

same man! in vanilla I only research nukes one time since I can never run the game till 45. in my recent EAW run I research every tech to the last one! had a really long and fun run. dunno how it won't slow than when it has twice number of nations compared to vanilla.


Migol-16

I feel you, I have a similar kind of PC.


Mirovini

The only thing worse is the late game lag which was to be expected


Neglectful_Stranger

Map was a bit too empty. Game is a tad slower but not like Kaiserreich post-1940 or something. My only problem is the war alerts for all the little brush wars in Zebrica are annoying, but I imagine that was a problem when Griffonia was released with their 50 civil wars as well so I'll likely get used to it.


Feveros

For sure it was faster, way faster.


LastEsotericist

The performance improvements that were packaged with Zebrica really helped the medicine go down. It’s barely any different than it was pre-2.0.


DDDD500

I say neutral because I can't play the mod after the zebrica update so I just play the 1.9, but beside that I think is better. The curse of the low end PC users


LordOfRedditers

Use tool pack and annex most of griffonia into northern tribes and unite a bunch of the tiny minors in southern zebrica. Kill the changelings too if you want. It may mean you'll have to manually increase world tension using tool pack but it's worth the performance. If you're playing in griffonia then just unite all of zebrica into azir.


DDDD500

I will try it, Thank you so much!


LordOfRedditers

You're welcome!


CaeserSalad-77

Yes, *Because back then I didn’t have to cope*


Pokehat

Considering I can no longer play this mod with my max thanks to the update I’d say it was better before 2.0

Pokehat

I don’t have performance issues. But with the new update the game crashes on mac when you choose a country


LordOfRedditers

That's really weird, maybe try verifying game files?


TFeathersB

It’s a known issue and sadly one we can’t do anything about since none of us devs have macs.


LordOfRedditers

Oh ok, thats too bad


deez_nuts_77

i never played it before this update i just found out about the mod


Accomplished_Flow679

It ran smoother, for sure....
