I have this system but the game lags to the point eventually almost freezing, even with Uniforms and Map Objects turned down to Medium -- and I'm playing on the Tutorial and smallest scenario. Thanks.

I've checked Task Manager and my applications are using 11 percent of memory before I run the game. I have Webroot AV which doesn't take up much memory. Thanks.

A few people have reported some lag issues (which I am starting to wonder is a win7 issue, not seeing this on win8.1 myself,and I have similar specs). I have heard of issues with webroot/av false positives but then you would expect the game would not run at all. One thing to try is run the game exe as admin and see if that helps

edit : ah I see you have the lag thread and posted there as well. Hope you stick with it and the issue is resolved, it will be worth it.

cheers

Champagne: Got it. Disable Webroot and it works like a charm. No lag. You mentioned you had Webroot so I thought to disable it.

This is a good suggestion that may have solved the problem. I will do more extensive testing tomorrow, but, after I went into Webroot and manipulated it to Accept the autorun and SOWWL.exe files, I was able to run Baudin's attack on Hougomont for some time with no lag problems.

I will do more extensive testing and report back.

Thanks.

In Webroot, turn OFF Realtime Shield and the game should run fine.

This Webroot function causes a real time check of files cycling through the game's software, thus slowing things down.

Setting Webroot to Allow the game's .exe file doesn't help.
