HELP with multiplayer orders' delay in Empire

[King_Aragorn]

Hello i'm new here. I have this big problem with Empire:Total War and Napoleon: when i give orders in a multiplyer battle the unit acts after 2 or 3 seconds making it impossible to play against good people, for example when me troops are charged and I order to form a square it take 3 seconds to do it but in the meantime the aforementioned unit is destroyed. This happens ONLY in multiplayer whilst the single player is very fluid. Here my hardware: E8200, HD4850 512 mb, 2gb ram 800mhz and windows xp. I really need help to solve this damn problem. I haven't been playing online for this reason, I hoped with the new Napoleon the situation would have changed but I was disapointed. This happens with no other online games wether it be a fps or rts or anything else.

My internet connection i s quite good i think: just before running Napoleon i launched a speed test and got 57 ping and 6 mb download yet sometimes it's worse. I tries changing steam servers now it's set italy and switzerland ( i live in italy ) though i tried with England and Americaa but that did n ot solve the porblem.
