Allow GC2 AI to run in background?

from GalCiv2 Forums

Is there a way to prevent GalCiv2 AI from pausing when you minimize or switch focus to another window?

I like playing turn based 4x games on enormous maps, but I also like to be able to do/watch other stuff while the AI is figuring things out between turns, and having the game stop every time I tab out is maddening.

Done a number of searches looking for a solution, only found 1 other mention of this, and it was #12 in a 15 point list of issues a guy made about the game and no one addressed it.  Thanks in advance

As far as I know, the AI in GalCiv2 uses background time during users turn, and not the in between turn time you see.  That time is strictly a display time to show you moving ships.  You may be interrupting display updates more than actual processing.  I don't think there is a fix for that.
