Hi all, this is my first post here, i am playing medieval 1 total war with the XL 3.0 mod.
The problem I am having is that i get bad lag on my campaign map. When moving the mouse around it takes more than double the time to get to the required destination, and the mouse's movement is a bit choppy. as a note, i dont believe the minimap is the problem, because when i open the unit or building queue, the cursor on the campaign map still lags. Ending the year lags very badly too, and takes an unbelievably long time.
QUICK AND CUSTOM BATTLES WORK 100% FINE.
The strange thing is, i have been playing a campaign as the english and everything has been perfectly fine up until yesterday. Two days ago the campaign worked perfectly.
I have tried many many solutions, none of which have worked. I have tried adding "-ian" to the end of the path and then minimizing the minimap, because i read that the minimap could have been the source of the lag. I have tried reducing all in game graphical and audio settings to the lowest possible, as well as muting in game sound. I have tried right clicking on my shortcut, and "running in window" which didnt even run the game in a window. I have added ' "C:/....medieval.exe" D' to the end of the path to run the game windowed, and a billion other things i cant remember, all to no avail. Any fix you can find by googling "medieval 1 campaign map lag" i have tried, and none of them have worked.
i have played from the year 1080 to the year 1220, about 3 weeks span of time with it working PERFECT
The game was working fine two nights ago, yesterday morning i played some custom battles, but no campaign, and then last night the campaign map had the horrible lag.
Another probably unrelated point is that while playing my campaign, i would press the escape button to save my game, and it would crash to desktop about 25% of the time. this wasnt a huge problem for me as i could usually revert to quick saves or autosaves, but i just wanted to mention it.
