Not outside of increasing scrolling speed, but that will lag depending on your hardware.

Well the road ends here I guess thanks a bunch FactionHeir

I'll be looking forward to your future ideas for increasing performance

do you have the shadows off from the campagin map? i have a low end laptop and it runs it pretty well, only problems are northern italy and around the holy lands (map lagging that is). check in the main menu in the options to put the graphics lower and especially shadows because the cause to most lag for me. i put the graphics on a acceptable level and it runs pretty nicely for a laptop and remember to check for any processes that would hog alot of memory (windows vista hogs a lot of memory so it woad probably run better in XP).

Yeah I have shadows off and everything is at it's lowest.

My problem is indeed Vista, its screws everything up

nothing I can do abt it though, cause I won't be installing XP on this machine anytime soon..

I do not actually own M2TW, but I was wondering if the following desktop computer could play it:

1.7 GHz Pentium IV
512 MB of RAM
Nvidia Geforce 6200
Windows XP Professional

I play RTW perfectly on max graphics settings.

Anyways:

Can I play M2TW?
How bad will the graphics have to be if I can?
