Mirkwood Lag

[Hakon]

On the campaign map it always starts to lag when I am viewing the area of Mirkwood. Is anyone else having this problem?

I had this problem on SS with my old computer. I think its because the trees are more demanding on your gfx card then wide open areas are.

Okay. Thanks for telling me.

i noticed that it also lags if you have choosen an army and then move around. if you haven't it doesn't

I get this problem. Doesn't bother me much though. I find that if I zoom in and out a couple of times it goes away for a while.

The area of Mirkwood is basically 95% moving trees. With 'shadows on' that is a stiff job for any processor. Remember: the game only uses one processor!
Personally I am a bit more perplexed why the same thing happens over the mountains of Mordor. It is basically 'low mountains' in the ground_types files with a custom ground file. Nothing moving there.

On my computer the mountains by Mordor lags the least. It doesn't really make sense why they would lag. When I move over the mountains it sometimes goes too fast.
