I'm not sure if any of you would have a solution to this since you all probably own the game and play it through Steam. But I have a physical copy of the Gold edition (no Wild expansion), and ever since I bought it 8 years ago, I have had insane lag at night. I know this is a common issue, but back then I just figured it was just because it was a poorly optimized game that will run fine on later-generation computer equipment. Starsat Upgrade more. Definitely not the case. I have an FX-8350 and an r9 270 with 8gb of 1600MHz memory and still get about 3-5 fps at night. I've seen in other forums from google searching that the final patch improved night time performance.

Patch Notes 108MB 'Resource libraries have been optimized for faster load times. Oracle 6i Forms And Reports Software. Changes to the game have been made to allow expansion packs to be installed in any.

But the problem is, that patch is only for Platinum. I'm assuming the patch is probably automatically implemented through Steam, so I doubt any of you would know this, but is there a patch for the Gold edition? I've had this game for the better part of a decade, but the performance has always been so god awful that I've never been able to really get in to it.
