Why does CORE run sooo dang slow?! I dled it yesterday and I like the look of it but it is running stupidly slow so I may abandon it.
 
I think this is a known issue. CORE runs slowly the first half of 1936 but eventually sorts itself out by the end of 1936. I'm running the game on a $500 laptop and I'm not having any trouble after the first year. I read somewhere that the issue will be fixed in 0.3.

Yep, and there's even a quick fix for it. :cool:

Open the mod-CORE2\ai\usa_1936.ai file in notepad (same goes for the other USA AI files), and change the following line:
683 # Hawaii into 663 # Pearl Harbor

This results in a huge increase in game speed for all nations other than the USA. Remarkably it's a Vanilla bug, but DD itself isn't suffering from it. CORE on the other hand is...
 
What does it do?

Wow. This actually seems to work a little so thanks!

A little? Considerably I'd say. It will get rid of the february slowdown (massive IIRC), and speeds up the game overall by a third or so. In the test runs we did CORE was slower than DD, but not by very much, after applying the fix. The bug only occurred for countries other than the US, by the way. When a human player was playing the US everything worked fine, except for the february slowdown.

Essentially the problem is that many of the US units are locked in the wrong place - the AI tries again and again to get a unit to the indicated province, but since all units in the area can't move, it's lots of trouble.

I've experienced the same as Germany when I invaded South Africa. The moment I destroyed one of their divs they tried to move a new div to guard the province, but didn't have any that could move there. Massive slowdown. The game got so slow I almost decided to quit and write an event to annex SA, but in the end I waited for my units to get the required provinces...
