RTR campaign map issue

[RikT]

I have a problem with the game on the campaign map. I've installed Rom Total Realism 1.9 (VII) and when i'm on the campaign map and I want to move it up or down or whatever direction it moves only in tiny steps. 1 step happens in about 3 seconds so going over the map is a real pain in the *ss. When I click on the mini-map to move my camera it takes about 2 minutes for it to reload the map in that location. Same with end of turn, of AI movements, it takes 2 minutes to load the map.

I've already tried reinstalling the ATI drivers and reinstalling .net framework, but both don't seem to help. I've experienced the same with Roma Surrectum.
I'm playing RTW Gold edition on Windows XP. It's an older PC but it used to run RTW and RTR without the problem i'm now encountering.

Please help

Did you try turning off campaign map shadows?

Wait a minute, RTR 1.9 and VII are completely different things. Which are you trying to use? If it is VII (the one with the map going no further east than western Turkey), try this

It's the one where the map goes waaaay east, almost until India. Sorry for the mix-up

Strange, I don't know what could cause that. That map shouldn't tax your computer any more than the Vanilla one. Could you run Vanilla smoothly?

First of all, excuse me for the long absence. I got tired and played EU3 instead, but i've got some craving for TW left. I tried deleting everything that has anything to do with TWR and the mods, but i've got the same problem on vanilla Gold Edition. The map takes an incredibly long time to load, and after that i can't move over the map without the game taking a 20 seconds or something to recalculate(?) the next row and/or column of pixels if u understand what i mean.

Like I said before, turning off campaign map shadows usually helps a lot for campaign map speed.
