    Default Cutscene lag

    Is it just me, or do the cutscenes lag like hell? They just crawl along at 1 FPS....

    Why didn't then include the prerendered video cutscenes? They are much more friendly on the computer.

    Specs: E8600 @ 4.5 GHz, 4GB RAM, Radeon 4870 w/ 1 GB of onboard memory , 7200RPM HDD... I see no problems here....

    I restarted and they worked fine.

    I dunno. Could be memory leak...

    Yeah, the cutscenes lag 50%ish of the time. The other half of the time, it goes smoothly. Usually if it lags I close empire and boot it back up, seems to fix the problem

    turn off the SSAO option in the graphics options. that will get rid of most of the lag.

    The Dueling videos lag like crazy for me.
