I noticed that in matches, the frame rate runs at a slog. It never happened before until recently. Anyone else have this issue and if so, if the Devs will fix it.

Hey! I'm Becky, one of the developers on Wild Country.

I'm sorry that the latest update has caused you to get some issues. I'll make it a priority to get that fixed for you ASAP!

Would you mind giving me a little more information on the lag? It'll help me resolve this quicker!

1. Does it slow just in the matches, or in the campaign too?
2. Was it slow before ever? Or is this new to this patch?

TYIA!

I don't know if it's the update since I just installed the game, but the game does run very slowly during matches. This might just be how it is and not lag, just needs the animation speeds turned up. If possible, make all the timer counters count down in one attempt rather than checking each individual plot and repeating the animations. As it is right now it can take minutes just watching timers freeze/popup/construction count down at the end of a turn. Quite exhausting when it only takes a few seconds for me to actually play my card and take my turn.

Also, sometimes plots requiring construction just don't construct. They'll count down until 1 correctly, but when it's time to go from 1 to 0 it zooms in on the plot and just doesn't do anything, it'll skip it. The plot will stay under construction like this permanently, without the game checking it again. I assume the game is getting rid of the timer on its end and just not triggering the construction animation leaving it stuck like this.

Just to confirm this, I just started a new game and the first practice match with Hawthorne was super laggy, searched and found this thread. Rolling back the patch to 1.0.0.5.2 fixed it (settings icon -> manage installation -> configure, untick auto updates and select an old patch within the GoG Galaxy launcher). Something since then has tanked the framerate within matches.

Also on a different note, while entering my name on the original, latest patch, pressing e during name input (after the 3rd letter) continued right away rather than letting me finish my name.
