Redraw Speed
I'm looking for ways to increase redraw speed. I have a very fast computer but the redraw speeds are still very slow. I noticed that it appears to be single threaded and not using any GPU Acceleration. Has anyone figured out any ways to make the redraws use more PC resources?
Thanks!
Thanks!

For slow maps, I recommend working with the effects turned off, or only having a subset of them enabled.
"Double precision math, object oriented code, a new image buffering scheme that results in up to 40x faster redraws and zooms. "

Is there any way to upgrade to that version? I poked around a little and noticed there is a conversion tool that can convert WC3 files to FC7 files. I'm willing to pay for this type of upgrade if ProFantasy were to release it. Is this something that is worth exploring?
And switching to v7 is also requires a lot of code changes to make it work, which would require a lot of expensive development.
The next version (CC4) is likely to handle modern hardware better, and therefore be much better at these things, but it is still in early development, so it is way too early to make any promises yet.
I only have to think about all the blog articles that I will have to re-write to understand the amount of work involved - from a 'tip of the iceberg' point of view.
