Foz,
That is just what I was about to ask for. A mod for people with low powered rigs to up thier performacy.

Meh, making a mod would make me have to support it compared to putting out the hint ;)
Besides, then I would even have to publish my vnv fix mod and whatever else I made...and I don't think I even documented what I did...I only know it works.

Fine I'll put up a tutorial for it somewhere (modding tutorials forum I suppose?), but don't expect me to make it a mod...those files are huge. I think all those together took like ~300 megs on my drive. Well if you unpack everything and then get rid of the packs you'd save 300, but who would ever do that :D

Wow. That's neat. Very helpfull indeed. Good work !

I tried this i.e added all those 0kb files into my mod folder like so:

D:\Games\Medieval II Total War\ProblemFixerPureV1.13\Data

Then I launched a custom battle in a huge city at night, but I still see torches on the soldiers and also on the buildings. I can also hear ambient sounds. That's supposed to be gone, right ?

Very helpful, FH - thanks for the detailed walkthrough. I'm sure your instructions are already making countless siege-lagged ORGers able to finally play their siege battles. Bravo!
