reinforcement, etc. battle videos stuttering

I wonder if anyone knows a solution to this. In my game, the reinforcement and general-attacked videos that appear during the battle are stuttering. I have all settings on ultra and the game runs smoothly, just the videos stutter. Any ideas?

Maybe it's possible to turn off those videos in preference settings?

It's not the same. In his case, unit animations stutter. In my case, only the pop-up event movie stutters. Not anything during the battles: neither closeups, nor large-view camera.

As to drivers: I have most up-to-date drivers.

This stutter issue reminds me of the radar-map stutter when I try to run Rome Total War mods on my new system. That stutter goes away if I turn off cross-fire for my graphics cards. It's fine for RTW. However, for NTW, turning off cross-fire, means no ultra-settings...

So, my thought is: I should turn off that pop-up movie. Any ideas how to do that?

try different drivers

you could try eliminating some issues, most up to date drivers are not always the best. post a dxdiag please.

I don't own the game but you can post some screens of the options menu (and subsequent menus) for us to find out.
