Hello I have a fairly up to date computer XP, 2 gigs of Ram, Quad core cpu, and a gtx 280. Overall performance is great but when playing battles in the campaign while frames are normally high every once in a while particularly when scrolling around the battlemap or zooming and seeing the sling stones from from accensi there is a slight hiccup or mini freeze that lasts a fraction of a second. It occurs regardless of graphic setting. It doesn't seem to happen in the custom battles which I used to test out how powerful the archer units were.


It is not super critical but is annoying since the game runs perfect the majority of the time. Is this normal? Is it a byproduct of the heavy scripting in the campaign? Does it have something specific to do with slingers (since this is where is seems to happen most often when draws the slingstones)? Is the new card and drivers not optimal for the Rome total war engine anymore?

Thanks in advance.
