Arrow Keys = FPS Drop

[Rhietwar]

Also, it only occurs when I am in Campaign Mode - In Custom Battles I recieve no FPS drop. I am 99.9% positive that it has something to do with the script.

My system Specs:

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz 4.7 3.4
Memory: (RAM) 2.00 GB 4.8
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS 3.4
Gaming graphics: 895 MB Total available graphics memory 4.4
Primary hard disk: 75GB Free (140GB Total)

The script definitely slows the game down. It's the price we pay for the lots of added functionality of EB. There are many other steps you can take to improve performance, but I can't remember them offhand. There's an unofficial mod that chops off a big chunk of the script that you may want to try, it disables the client rulers but leaves the rest intact (see the subforum).

Ok I'll try that. Thanks for the help. :)

I never played Europa 7-8, the previous Version of EB 1.0, but I think the client ruler section of the script wasn't there for that version. Which means if people want to go back to when the script was smaller, they should just use what I said here.

Your second choice, if you want better combat AI and an increase in turn/scroll speed, is using the Alexander mod to start EB, which is save game compatible with vanilla EB.

Btw, the largest performance boost for EB seems to be to have 2 gigs of ram, whatever speed.
