Hello, I have just bought Napoleon Total War finally after a while of playing Empire Total War. Unfortunately after installing the game and making a nice custom battle to try out the differences I have run into a problem. This problem is with the units and the battle itself. When I first started the game I played with the regular recommended settings and did not change a thing. I have read that sometimes this can be wrong, but I still went anyways.
The units looked wonderful at the time. I was running with all the options on my ATI CCC enabled. This however lead to extreme game lagging/stuttering and also the HUD constantly flashing.
After this experience I brought all my ATI CCC things to a disabled mode. This in-game did everything to fix the lag/ hud flashing but left the game with horrible graphics. After this, I turned the graphics all up and it still looked the same, and also after a restart of the game.
After I thought something might be wrong with my driver so I updated it from 10.1 to 10.5 and have even read that there have been fixes in those drivers almost specifically for NTW and ETW. After updated the drivers I have retried all options and still the problem persists.
After my experiments I have come to this set of conclusions:
1) With all CCC settings on and graphics in-game set on max/reccomended settings I get the great graphics but with extreme stuttering and hud flashing.
2) With CCC on and ingame on all low, it runs laggy but with horrible graphics.
3) With CCC off and ingame on low it runs smooth but with horrible graphics. (I think myself that is obvious.)
Recently after doing this testing I have noticed that the sky and outerlands are extremely messed up. Also, recently the HUD has been completely gone. I have taken a picture of a recent test. I can also take an Xfire video maybe if you guys can get a better view off of that.
I have can play Empire Total War completely fine on High Graphics with perfect frame rate. Also, When I played the Napoleon Total War demo a few months back it ran completely fine.
