I'm getting serious lag now when a ship blows up! frame rate drops to a slideshow
I've only experienced it in 1.5 so I'm guessing it's a bug that 1.5 has introduced.
The campaign map in the Americas theatre is very laggy, if you use the goto function on the "Fleet Arrives" notification the map freezes and its impossible to select your fleet. There are also freezes when selecting fleets as in 1.2.
Performance in land battles seems to have decreased even on lower setting!! I had no lag in 1.3. Also there seems to be a slight Freeze when artillery fires in land & sea battles and I've had a complete computer lock during a sea battle when trying to board a enemy ship.
Another problem I have encountered is again in the Americas theatre.
I am playing as GB and the Spanish have parked a fleet in the Bahamas port, one of the Islands where the land bridges have gone. I tried to land a milita unit in the port to eject the Spanish fleet but the game just freezes I've tried it several times with the same results but at least it doesn't cause a crash :)
Land units on the campaign map using fleet voices, eg "All hands on deck and Heave away boys" when attacking
