battles get very laggy midway

[adecoy95]

i am not quite sure what is causing it, but lately battles randomly start getting really laggy.... the only way i can fix it is to restart the game!

im using the latest version of SS, running 64 bit windows 7, more detailed computer specs can be found at my below xfire link

EDIT: by midgame i mean midway through the battle itself, not the campaign

You'll be plased to know that the SS6.5 team are working on reducing the battle lag.

You could try reducing unit detail, buildings and vegetation detail etc.

turn off building, grass, glints/reflections, and vegitation details and you shoul have a very smooth game

do you have permanent arrows on?
