A general question about performance...
My latest game is relatively early on (55 years of game time) and I take my time with build-up and exploration. In addition to Sol, only five other systems have been surveyed, only two of which I have occupied with relatively modest colonies. All under 15,000,000 in population. Sol does have colonies on Luna and Mars that are fairly active and developed. I have an embarrassingly small Navy. Only three small wings of patrol vessels that I use for security and very small numbers of freight, colonial and troop transports, as well as small numbers of survey ships. there is only one station that I use for jump point stabilization. No terraforming and a very small Garrison force of a single division made up of four 25,000 ton regiments. There is a reasonable amount of civilian traffic, which I largely rely on for setting up and supporting colonies.
Despite what I would describe as nominal operations compared to what I see others building and running, my game is slowing to a crawl. Five-day turns take seconds sometimes to process and it is becoming difficult to play. I run Aurora on my mid-range system, a 12th generation i9 with a 3080TI and 64 GB of Ram. I run things like DCS in VR and Cyberpunk 2077 on this rig with no hitch, but Aurora is bringing it down to its knees. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do about it?
As always, thanks in advance.
