I just bought and downloaded the game. Right at startup, the menu buttons seem to lag. Starting a game of any factory size, the game is running at 1-5fps, and doesn’t speed up. There’s no spiking, it’s just consistently low frame rate. Moving the camera is noticeably slow and chunky. Button clicks don’t always register, and tile animations a take forever to complete–the dust effect alone lasts for several seconds, playing out one frame at a time.
I don’t see any other posts about serious lag issues from the menu and upon starting a new game. Any thoughts on what could be causing this given my more than decent hardware?
