when it go to 1...0....start hal hour latter it starts rendeing planets what? it seems every update makes it take LONGER to load maps...shame...this is my 2nt fav RTS
maybe your system is severely outdated?, only 2 Gigs of ram and a Pentium dual core at 1.6Gh is farrrrr below the minimal specs
I'm stunned it even runs at all. the half hour problem is likely caused by paging gone wild (aka, thrashing). Minimum specs say 4 GB, and even that is limiting, 2 GB is just nuts.
Most maps (that I play) need for now at least 3-4 GB of RAM, then your system (Windows) is using another chunk of RAM. It takes so long to load, cause your computer has to write the data on the much slower HDD once your memory is full.
