First off, hats off. I love the RPG element in 1.9. However. Hear this:
I install 1.9, run a campaign and siege Valencia with about a half stack, against their half stack. I decide to play the siege myself, and lo and behold.....slowness. FPS at around 10. I run at full settings 1280x1024 with shadows al off and grass on low. I usually have NO LAG and run at around 20 fps, 25 if I put the priority on Realtime of High.
Here I thought, maybe by computer is running some background process thats causing the slowdown. I check..nothing. I restart to be sure, check again and restart. Nothing to slow it down, so I start DLV. Play teh same siege...same slowness.
Replicate the siege in a custom battle. Same slowness.
Bring my resolution down to 1024x768, half unit size down, take grass off, stuff that usually gets me running at 50 fps......same 9 fps on DLV.
Frustrated, I try the same siege in vanilla, with everything maxed out, 33 fps.
Any idea why.
My specs are at the bottom, and I am using vista Ultimate 64 bit. Like I said, Vanilla is running w/o lag, but DLV gives me lag on the battle map ( campaign map is fine!).
