OK, I bought civ 4 beyond the sword yesterday and when I tried to play it today it is lagging terribly. Everything seems to run just fine in the menus and movies, however when I start a game it takes forever to do anything no matter the size of map or the settings. IBTS also take 5-6 minutes to load the menu. I had no problem with Civ 4.
All my drivers except for my RAM are up to date. My system specs are:
8800 GTS Nvidia grafix card
2 GB non duel core RAM.
64 MB duel core AMD processor
I have no prgrams such as AVG or security programs running.
I launch both Civ 4 and Civ 4:BTS via Steam (if any of you know what that is) however I am certain it is not a problem with Steam since Steam has literally nothing to do with the game except as a way to download games and use a friends chat in game.
I also noticed that the there is a frame every second exactly. so the the frame rate seems to be working at 1 frame a second exactly
