Help! Persistent arrows in 5.1 slowing down machine.

**Lamprey** · March 18, 2008, 10:28 AM

Hey guys,

I don't know if this is a bug, an issue that's been fixed or a setting I'm just not seeing, but I have a problem. In custom battles, arrows never disappear. This way, towards the end of a battle I have entire areas covered with arrows. The computer can't render so many objects and slows down to a crawl.

Is there a way to have arrows not persist? I've never had this happen before I installed stainless steel, which is why I suspect it may be related.

Yeah, I get this too...and my PC can hardly run RomeTW on full graphics so its suffering as a result. However I thought that the permanent arrows were supposed to do that in SS...?

Just remember everyone, persistant arrows slowing your computer to a crawl is a feature, not a bug. Sounds like something that CA would say.....

A bug is something that does not work as it should, arrows are fine on my pc, and alot others. If the pc cannot handle the graphics thats a feature or hardware requirement, your choice. Its easy to fix (see above) for those who don't want it, or pcs cannot cope. Anyway only trying to help Lamprey out.
