Might it be that you are running an antivirus software? I think TinoM noted the problem, that Widelands can get quite slow in the first runs - the problem seems to be, that Widelands loads some thousand different files and the antivirus scanner than stops widelands for some milisecond for each file, to first check whether the file contains a virus.... Don't get me wrong I don't want you to disable your antivirus software completely. Such software is VERY useful on Windows! Anyway if an antivirus program is running, you could try to switch it off for the time you run widelands and check whether Widelands gets faster than. Or are there a lot other programs running parallel, that could take a lot of the CPU usage? I really wonder.... Cheers Nasenbaer Top Quote

I will look for other programs but according to task manger only Widelands is running. Thank you, WonderWin Top Quote

Anyway, taskmanagaer only shows the programs visible on your desktop. So their might be some other programs running in the background (e.g the anti virus scanner is normally running in the background and not shown in the taskmanager - same applies to firewalls, virtual drives, etc...) Anyway if the antivirus software is not the problem and you are not running many other applications, I really don't know what else might cause the problems. Perhaps you could try the newest version from http://widelands.8-schuss.de - but I am not sure if that will change anything... Cheers Nasenbaer Top Quote
