Problem with BM

Submitted by Zac QuickSilver on Sat, 2008-06-21 21:56. Space Empires V General

I've been having an issue with BM: it takes a long time to recover from tactical battles. While this is a nonissue on multiplayer games; when I'm playing alone, I like to command the battles, and it's gotten to the point where the 30 seconds to 2 minutes it takes to do the post-battle calculations are adding up to a lot of time.

Does anyone know if anything can be done about it? I've got SEV 1.71 and BM 1.24.

You should have installed BM 1.14a with SE5 1.71, but that is probably not a problem you have got.

I'm having the same issue. I haven't installed the newest updates yet. After tactical combat in single-player mode, it takes anywhere from 20 seconds to a minute to recover from the battle. Although the 20 second delay is a lot more common than the minute long ones.

I'm suspecting that it's the system making the combat replay files. Is there any way to disable the combat replays altogether? I never watch them anyway...

I do have 1.14 mistype.

Actually, it's did now, I updated today. I'll also disable combat replays, and see if one of the two helps.

Disabling Combat Replays worked like a charm. No more delays.

As there is no BM 1.24 I knew it had been a mistype. What I meant was that you should have BM 1.14 updated to BM 1.14a

When you upgrade SEV to v1.74, you'll also need to patch BM to v1.14b .
