I've been having some major issues with the game recently.. :/

[NotQuiteAKing]

So last spring I built a computer my parts were a 560 ti and i5 2500k. When playing the campaign, moving the camera causing an enormous frame rate drop, from 60fps to around 3fps (Depending on how fast I move the camera), the GPU usage also drops from around 17% to 0%. However once the camera stops moving, it pings right back up to 60fps. I'd like to mention that I could play campaign flawlessly on my crappy laptop without any problems.This has gone on ever since I built the computer and it's stopped me from playing campaign mode, but in the mean time I turned to multiplayer and other Total War games and have enjoying them just as well. However I recently tried to resolve this issue and get back to playing campaign, enlisting the help of Gamefaqs's PC board. Needless to say the situation has only gotten worse. Now starting a Battles cause the game to crash once it's finished loading. I don't have any problems playing the other Total War games (Apart from a weird sound issue in Napoleon) and I've no idea how to fix this, I've tried adjusting PCI power state management, re-installing the game. re-installing steam, messing with settings in Nvidia panel, switching to on-board graphics and nothing.


Oh and If you wanna see exactly what I've attempted, here's the thread I made on gamefaqs:

Thanks for any help.

Mess with the graphics settings. I believe there is something with sprites that may need to be handled.

I've messed with all sorts of graphical settings too, switched from high to low, changed resolutions and tried numerous combinations.

For the slow campaign map - you could try another mouse.

Wireless mice sometimes do cause slow campaign map speed but also some
wired ones can do - if you got a chance to try out another brand or model
without buying one, give it a try.

As for the game crashing lately - dunno - it seems like you have to trial and error
back to where you started changing things to get rid of your first problem as it
worked before.
