Lags in battles

[Ybbon]

Hey,

I asked this before but I was playing with a large empire, but this happens with any game, I was trying Syracuse and had only the original start position.

It happens with RTW, RS 1.5 and RS 1.6 with/out BI. So pretty much every game. During the battle, the game will just hang, it returns but it's very annoying and graphics can get very laggy. The sound just goes into a loop.

I use GameBooster, as an AV I have BitDefender but that is in game mode, and it happened when I was using OneCare too so it's not that.

My guess is the original RTW is the problem as all the others are cloned from that.

Has anyone seen anything similar? It's not the system itself which is more than capable but it has got worse of late, although my system is scanned, a/v'ed, backed up, defragged regularly (weekly) so although it could be the system, again I don't think so.

I will re-install, want a nice clean install for RS2, but just curious if there are known problems?

I experienced something like this when fighting macedon in my rome campaign. I think it was connected to the terrain because it happend only in certain battles on some places.

No, I'm playing as Pergamon now, same issue fighting free people and selucids. Happened as Rome, Gauls and Syracuse, and in the Rome campaign I owned most of the map.

I'm think my hard disk may be the issue - too much s/w installed/re-installed etc,
