The game still has some memory leaks and the longer you play in one session, the slower the load times are. Quitting and restarting the game should help. I have not experienced other issues with load times, but OoB sure is on the slow side with those compared to other similar games.

When I have been playing for an extended period of time I always save the game, exit and come back in when starting a new scenario. This keeps load times down. The load times are not good normally but get progressively worse the longer you play in a single session.

Thanks for the replies boys, I was playing today and noticed what you guys said is correct. I had the game open for couple of hours yesterday and quickloads were getting on my nerves.

Things got a lot worse for me after the update. I've tried fiddling with settings and makes no difference, it isn't even the load times so much as my mouse lagging during actual games. Not really anything to be done but get used to it I suppose.

I've noticed this as well, just fought the Dunkirk battle and that battle takes a couple hours and the longer you go the slower the turn times geeze.

I also noticed that bunkers count as units destroyed? had about 15 turns left and i had one unit to destroy and was running all over the map looking for the last unit and I had like 10 turned left and was getting frustrated so i sent a couple units to destroy a bunker and I won.

My crashes so far stopped on my Panzer Corps 2 by running game as Administrator, so I might try running this game the same way to see if it improves the AI turn times, guess it's worth a try?

Edit: I just tried Smolensk Battle and turn times are still slow, was worth a try.

The Moscow Scenario the turn times are so long from screen locking up that it took AI about 5 to 8 minutes that I got so frustrated on turn 17 after about probably 2 or close to 3 hours of play that I quit in frustration and haven't played since. I wanted to win the Campaign and carryover to Panzerkrieg Campaign, just don't have the patience in waiting for AI to make their moves

I might go to the Morning Sun Campaign but I'm pretty sure there are some Scenarios that the AI turns take forever as well.

Ever think to play something on your phone while waiting?

I go get a bite to eat go take a leak, grab something to drink and the AI turn times are still going, why haven't they addressed this issue after all of these years, it's weird some battles the AI turn times are lightning fast and others lock up on AI turn times.

I done single player stuff in forever so can't really comment on that, although I do remember in the past it could be a pain. Getting harder and harder to find partners for multiplayer sadly. Shame since there are some really outstanding maps.

Why have they not addressed it? Hmmm there are many reasons. Foremost is it is more profitable to put out new DLC which then sell for money. A rework for the base game is not financially rewarding in their eyes. But if they fixed these issues they would sell more of the DLC that are available. There are issues in the original content( Rising Sun and US Pacific were part of the original game OOB: Pacific, and they both have well know problems with the Coral Seas and Midway scenario's, The devs solution? Use a cheat code to continue the campaign. (#igotnukes instant (major) victory) The right thing would have been to FIX the issues. But they are still here YEARS after they launched the game. It is still IMO the best game of its kind.

What kind of a rewarding experience is using a cheat code? the rewarding experience if winning without a cheat code.

I've been playing a lot of Panzer Corps 2. I still have crashing in between Scenarios in that game every once in while for some unknown reason, I'm on the Ebro Scenario in SCW and that is something else, might start over and try with 100% Heroes and more traits, I normally play with 50% heroes and only about 4 traits.

There is a mod that allowed you to control the Nationalists AI units, that mod sounds interesting?

The mod is No AI Infantry mod for PzC 2 it places MOST of your allied Spanish Infantry under your control. It also means you head into AO 39 with experienced Infantry.

Try reading my comment above again. I said that there were issues with 2 of the DLC that were part of the original game and the problems still exist. That the DEVELOPERS simply tell you to use the cheat code. Now I will admit to doing so but only after I have achieved the victory condition before I use it. In both cases it involves sinking enemy carriers. They do not update the victory condition correctly. I was using that as an example of how they view the game and fixing issues. Which is a shame because the game is great.

I wish someone would make a mod to have German infantry units late in the SCW we could use the last 3 to 4 Scenarios and we can use those units to carry over to the AO 39, do the SCW infantry units carry over as German units in the AO 39?

Yes the MOD adds core slots to your forces for the infantry. When you import the core into AO 39 the infantry goes with it, hence my comment about taking experienced infantry into AO 39. So really there is no reason for another MOD. I do not MOD but it would be a simple task to add German infantry to the Condor Legion Data base.
