Serious campaign map lag

[TotalWarFan23]

No matter what I try, no matter which settings I use, my campaign map always lags like hell. This has been the same case with Empire TW and my computer meets the recommend pc specs so I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you updated your graphics drivers to the latest version? Also what is the spec of you PC. A dxdiag would be best!

[TotalWarFan23]

Yes they have been upgraded, and the dxdiag is in the attachment

Well I'd probably say its the fact that your graphics card is very weak, a GT210 just meets the requirements for the game so campaign lag is probably due to that. Have you tried running the game on a lower resolution, even as low as 800x600?

[TotalWarFan23]

No haven't tried that yet, but I remember that when I played Empire TW, lowering the resolution helped so I could give that a try.

Yeah that's pretty much the only thing you can do for now, also set everything to low if it isn't already.

try dx9 mode, also CA states laggy campaign map is a known issue and will be fixed in the next patch.
