    Hi,

    I bought Rome: Total war a couple of weeks ago. When I tried the prologue the map moves really slowly. When I push the curser to the end of the screen the game takes around 10 seconds then moves. I tried all three campaigns with the same result. But when I try a custom battle with 20 units in each army and huge setting, with highest detail setting on it doesn't lag or anything. I tried everything with the lowest settings, but still no luck. I tried the disk on my crappy laptop which lags on lowest setting but it works. I'm lost at what to do?

    To sum up;

    The campaign map moves at an unplayable speed.
    My computer is significantly above the recommended stats.
    I can prove it by playing massive battles on high levels of graphics without lag.
    The disk is fine as it works on my rubbish laptop.
    I have bought a new disk and it still doesn't work.
    I have installed, reinstalled, complete manual reinstalled around 50 times but nothing works.
    I have asked the Heaven forums and only Subrosa was useful telling me to do a complete manual reinstall, which didn't work.
    Can anyone save me?

    Anyone?

    What do you think? The desktop but if you want to post the laptop as well that's OK.

    I am also having this problem, the campaign map runs unbearably slow, on any setting and any resolution.
    I am running an asus 3870x2, a phenom 9850 BE, 8gb of ocz reaper, 2X 150gb raptor x in raid 0, vista x64. battles run fine, its just the campaign map.

    found this in the forums, but it doesnt help.
    anyone got any other ideas?

    Does it still do it after about ten turns or are you complaing after one turn? Vista being the garbage it is probably trying to load the whole game into ram, no swap file. If it does that it takes a while until it it gets it all in there. If you are panning while it's doing it, you can best believe it's still doing it to you. Is there a fix for it? Patience.

    ya it's as soon as I get into the game. It's so annoying I can't play past one turn. If I just left the game running for a bit then came back would that help? and to clear things up, it is the scrolling that is slow, ie when i move the cursor to the edge of the screen, that's what is lagging.
