After briefly googling the problem I discovered that the issue has existed for years and no apparent fix has been produced.


My game begins to stutter at around mid-game (micro-freezes at regular intervals about every second or two). Extremely annoying and makes cliking on things or giving orders a struggle.


Normal sized map with 7 players.


Changing graphic settings doesn't help.


Anything I could do to make my game playable again?
