Stutter, 25000 men on the field, no lag and works fine, just stutter?

Hi there,

Guys I was wondering if there is a solution for this stuttering, I like to play epic battles with 20000 men or even more. It's just a shame that the game stutters intensely.

In fort battles there's the same problem, even worse. The unit stutter makes the game unplayable, even
with less men on the field.

I found one thing out, if the units move one through the other when marching, this causes stutters as well.



A bit pity it is, as I experience no lag at all, but the trooops are lagging.



Cheers

Your best bet is to turn either the troop sizes or graphics down. Stutter IS lag.

If you're not already using it, have a look at Game Booster which closes unnecessary processes on your computer. Increases your performance massively and may solve your stutter problem.

Cheers, Tom.

On top of that, download and run Ccleaner. 20000 men sounds too much. <15000 is more than enough. And please use GameBooster, it helps.

Yes use GameBooster.

I think I had the same problem as you, except on Empire total war.

Do you mean that the game runs flawlessly, you can move the camera around etc without any lag, yet the troops move as if they are in fast forward speed? It always happened during siegies in ETW for me, doesnt happen in NTW though, may just be too many men for the engine to handle.

Interesting.
This happens to me as well when I run large battles on shogun 2. How come the troops lag/stutter but the camera moves fine?

The static portions of the 3D environment are held in memory and the moving items require computing power to calculate their position and attitude in the environment.

Towards the OP: Stutter is lag.
