Ascent - The Space Game (not responding)

Ascent - The Space Game (not responding)

I have spent a lot of time recently staring at that message from Windows. What gives? This game has historically been very responsive. Lately, however, there is an minimum 9 second delay between pushing any game button and getting the game to even acknowledge the button push, not to mention responding to a menu change or initiating warp or anything.

By contrast, I logged on and posted this message and then edited it, in the typical time it takes to warp from 1 place to another with the autopilot.

Well, let me know when it gets fixed and I'll return. Goodbye.

I was never able to get ver. 1.5 to run much better than that so I have been using 1.4 since new version inception. I find that it still runs at same speeds as always.
I don't play much anymore, but when I do I will check 1.5 first (I can tell during loading the game...), then I will close it and run 1.4. I keep the entire game file on the desktop so it's easy to access.

I logged in and everything seemed to work okay. If there are network issues, it does drive 1.5+ crazy.

I also noticed that after a period of time 1.5 will freeze and restarting the game will not help. I have had to go back to 1.4 and only then can I re-install 1.5 and have it work for a while. Mind you, the specs on my desktop are rather blah now, it is an i5 with 8g ram with a radeon r7 250 2g video card. I would recommend using version 1.4 if you are having problems with 1.5. Hope this Helps!
