That's what I was doing. I'm going to try windowed on the external monitor, hopefully it will improve matters slightly.

True, IHD is in a LOT of stuff. Bizarrely, I risk-bought Skyrim and it's running ok...!

I've noticed the facility maintenance stuff but had a hard time getting info out of him. I'm not in the office today so won't have any quick answers.

No rush.. there is so much changed in the Economy its going to take me a long while to sort it out. I mean just having inflation effects back means I would have to redo it anyway. I'm just poking at my mod since I finally have 3 days off, and although there are huge changes I can prob get it close to what I want.. he added some new tags we can mod etc as well. I'm just not gonna have it released as fast as I had hoped... :lol:

@tkobo - It should auto update.

Saves would be compatible but would not get the same performance benefits. The game is not just faster, the AI doesn't do things now that previously caused slow down in the code. And there were map fixes/data fixes that you would be missing.

@openair - Is your AI scraping units? Is a colony giving you MGs? There is no message associated with colonies sending up stock.

No, no. Balth... we went over this 5 times in the last beta update thread (asked for and sent 2 saved games). I last reported military goods are being added (instead of subtracted?) to the stockpile every time units are entering the queue. With no further response.

@tkobo - okay, I'll check into it.

@openair - a yes, I remember it, I'll have to check my notes. Working from home today, so won't be till later in the week. I do remember that when I checked your savegame I was able to "stabilize" the situation. Also, no one has reported anything else like this. There is a high probability it's working as it should and we just aren't seeing what's creating the situation.

Maybe. It isn't related to unit construction like i thought, or at least isn't anymore. Disabling all unit construction still causes the stockpile to grow. I am playing india in a sandbox. I have no colonies to give me military goods, and i almost never agree to trade deals (am 99% sure i didn't this game).

Also others not reporting this, because of the nature of this, unless someone was looking for a problem, they wont have anything to report. It is not game disabling/hindering but actually helpful. For example: In the normal course of play, i would guestimate and build so many military goods production facilities, and then never look at demand/production very closely again. Unless i got shortage warnings or high negative trades. This prevents shortages and the need for trades... Prevents what would trigger the average player to closely monitor their military goods.

I have my steam version of the game up to date.

step 1) ensure you disable steam from keeping your game up to date.

step 2) install the patches in this order:

SRCW-Update-7-2-1
SRCW-Update-7-2-2
SRCW-Update-7-2-45 beta
SRCW-Update-7-2-59 beta
SRCW-Update-7-2-72 beta
SRCW-Update-7-2-73 beta
SRCW-Update-7-3-1

You might be able to skip the beta patches i'm not sure but I think Balthagor would know.

Theoretically, you should be able to install 7.3.1 only. It contains all previous patches. Just stop steam from doing the updates for now.

K, checked with George and he confirmed it's not set up for auto update yet. That should get done by next week.
