Terrible lag in-game

I haven't played NTW since a while, and this evening I thought I wanted to do a quick campaign. It all went fine in the menu (+100 FPS), but then in campaign I got 7 FPS. I uninstalled the mods, and then tried a battle. Same FPS gain. Restarted the computer, resseted the driver settings, completely uninstalled and then reinstalled the game, scanned my comp with BitDefender, but the lag persists.

What may the problem be? I have the same comp as I did 2 weeks ago, where it ran at +40 FPs in battles, and all the rest of the games run fine, including it's brother ETW. I'm also using the old&good drivers. What may the problem be?

When you deleted the mods, did you also delete the scripts folder and verify your game cache inetgrity?

How do you do that? (My current computer was created only in order to play ETW on highest settings, which I did. However, now I play NTW with a mod and experience some lag in battles... note: units are bigger in this mod.)

http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic...-Napoleon.html for the scripts folders.

http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic...ame-cache.html for cache integrity.

And DarthMod uses larger unit sizes.

Thanks a lot for the quick answer.

Yup Darth does... but so does "Europe in Conflict" for NTW. (Militia 360, lines 280... that's really something, but I refuse to believe this is responsible for lag.)

Yep. Verifyed twice. The first time it did find a corrupt file and it replaced it

Play with your graphics settings?

It sound stupid but turn on Volumetric. When i do that may game stop lag.

i got the same problem, Played a few months ago lag free and just installed it today and its horrible lag even when the graphics are all on Low

Have you changed anything in the few months between?

no i uninstalled the game, had to re-install windows 7 and just installed it today and its terrible lag

Are you running an ATI card? If so, every time you update your drivers, the "HD Audio device" is also activated in your Device Manager, creating a 2nd audio stream from your computer (on top of your normal audio device). If you have this, you need to disable the new HD device, because it causes alot of lag.

Good point, Nanny. Also, did you reinstall your motherboard chipset drivers?

no just re-installed windows 7 nothing ells and no im not using an ATI card

Install your motherboard chipset drivers, then let us know if it works. Also, in Nvidia's Control Panel be sure it's set "application controlled" for the game.

how do i install that :O

If prebuilt as in Dell or HP, what is your computer's make and model?
If custom, what is your motherboard make and model?

Did Toshiba supply a setup cd with it? Trying to find them on Toshiba's website is a nightmare.

Is there a support number in their owner's manual? Your best bet.

nope it was already pre-installed onto the laptop so i guess ill call them and see if they can do anything, that is, if i can understand what their saying
