Campaign Map Lag

[HIC SVNT LEONES]

I'm having a peculiar problem.

I've recently reinstalled this game. Both Core and Expansion. I have nooooo problems running the game at max graphics. I do the same with Empire and the newer titles.

But the campaign map. Ugh. Why? It chops and lags. I've turned off shadows, v-sync. But I always still get a chunk of leg. Not to mention atrocious turn times.

What may be the problem?

I've updated my chipsets.

Should I post computer stats?

The game = being battles?

[irishron]

Mountains? Big cities? Zoomed in or out? Forests? Panning? Unit/agent movements?

[HIC SVNT LEONES]

Unit/Agent movements. Really bad lag. Don't know why.

[irishron]

Normal movemnet or hit the spacebar for fast movement? Fast movement for me, it happens at times. The animations can't keep up with the screen and you're seeing the redraw rate at that speed. Cpu speed controlled and the game only uses one core of any cpu.

[HIC SVNT LEONES]

Any way to get it to only use one, or make it slower?

[irishron]

Use normal mode or you have a slow cpu. In this case, anything slower than 3GHz may cause it. My old 2.4GHz did all the time.

[HIC SVNT LEONES]

Normal mode? As in "slow"/spacebar?

[irishron]

Yes.

[HIC SVNT LEONES]

Ah. Well, thank you!

Do you know of any way to "slow down" the fast mode?

[irishron]

There is none as CA did not leave one for us to implement.
