Report: I managed to play an hour last night with the 1.5 beta patch. It made a huge difference in terms of campaign map lag and general performance. Seems like some programmer somewhere in CA has his or her head screwed on correctly.

Only tested campaign elements, (no time for a serious battle) but there was big improvement. I can only hope this is the beginning of a good trend.

New patch is out, build number v1.0.0 6955454492, 'bout the same size as the previous.

Unfortunately, so far I can't echo Lemur's experience with improved campaign map lag from the beta. I'm still getting it whenever I select a character and their movement area gets highlighted. Will test further and see if I notice any improvements elsewhere...

Funnily enough I started getting campaing map lag yesterday. The map would freeze up roughly every 10 to 15 secondes no matter what I did. Luckily downloading the latest BETA drivers for my graphics card fixed the issue. I had wanted to do that anyway, as a friend gave me his old ATI 5750. It's old I know, but with the new drivers the battles were smooth as well. This is on low settings though.

I tested last night w/ the beta patch and two things that gave me huge lag
- strat map transition
- diplomacy map transition

...are now much improved and off my annoyance list.

So, for me at least, so far so good.

Pre 2nd patch the worst issue I had was randomly my diplomacy screen would open and some of the buttons would freeze and be unclickable. Sometimes I would have to restart the program as there was no way for me to click out of the diplomacy screen. I kept trying to recreate that issue by repeatedly opening the diplomacy screen post patch and so far no issues in any of my saved campaigns. I cant speak to any improvement in lag as I didnt really have any issues there.

Glad to hear that some people are seeing improvements. It sounds like CA is getting a little traction with this 2nd patch; I hope it continues.
