    Verify the integrity of the cache

    When Steam verifies your cache, it's matching the files on your hrddrive with the one on its harddrive. Any missing ones it replaces, hopefully. 65% to 75% sounds like a pack file missing. Instant 75% to 100% sounds like it thinks it's done. Have you tried to play?

    Maybe you need to defragment your game cache files or something?

    I was about to write that. Try defragmenting yout files - Steam has the option of doing so IIRC. You could also try specialized defragmentation programs, search the net for them. The one that comes with Windows is not exactly the best one.

    Fragmentation of files can make your loading times really painful but 40 mins seems to be unusually long. Also try reinstalling NTW if you didn't do so already.

    SmartDefrag from www.iobit.com does a good job and it's free.

    Delete the all the files belonging to the peninsular campaign they are at \Programmi\Steam\SteamApps\common\napoleon total war\data

    then verify the integrity of the cache

    Those files can be defragmented in the same drop down menu you verify cache in your Steam account.

    I had the same issue after the last patch. I was able to correct it by setting memory usage to system cache.

    For Windows XP:

    1) Right click on "My Computer", and select Properties.

    2) Click the Advanced Tab

    3) Click Settings, in the Performance section.

    4) Click the Advanced tab

    5) Set Memory usage to "System cache".

    I don't have Vista or 7, but the procedure must me somewhat similiar.

    I have a single core 3.2 ghz Pentium 4, and I am guessing it has to do with not having a multiple core cpu.
