I have only a 64MB graphics card and on low settings Medival 2 runs like a dream both on the campaign map and "in the field" pitched battles. Smooth, no lag and no delay. But city battles are killing me. Except for the very smallest of settlements the game grinds to a stuttering, unplayable mess. Despite setting the building detail to low they still seem highly detailed (cracked walls, many windows and beams). Perhaps I am being selfish, but what I would like to see is a "polishing" mod that removes bugs (of which there are a few), perhaps balances/tweaks gameplay and reduces textures (or whatever it is) that makes large settlments so laggy. Perhaps removing some houses etc would help. Medival 2 is a great game (I think maybe the best and have been playing since shogun), but at the moment I cant enjoy one of the main aspects of the period - siege warfare.
If I'm the only one with this problem then please ignore this mod idea/request, but if there are others out there with the same problem then perhaps we can find a way to sort it out.
Thanks.
