I looked and did not see this subject anywhere, hopefully someone can help. Got what I think is a pretty weird problem. I have the 1.2 patch and all my drivers updated, and performance during battles is A-ok, but I am experiencing crippling lag whenever my view of the campaign map is over the England/France/Spain.

What's weird is that it'll work at a normal pace for a turn or two, and then it'll start to absolutely crawl for a turn or two, and then it will be back to normal speed again before the cycle repeats. When it's crawling, if I click over to Italy or the East it'll work at the normal pace again, but then crawl again as soon as I head back West.

Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the seasonal graphics or level of activity on the map, I was only on my third turn with England when it first happened. Right now I can only really play with Venice and conquest eastward because otherwise it takes thirty seconds just to get my lagging, jumpy mouse to center on what I want to select out west. Anybody have any thoughts?
