Empire Total War Campaign map stuttering..

Hey all, I was just wondering if anybody else was experiencing random stutters while looking over the campaign map in ETW. It's weird to think that I get better framerates during the battles than on the campaign map. Granted it's up in the 50-60s when I'm not scrolling through the map, but when I am it will randomly drop the the 20s every once and awhile. I have tried turning all my settings down to low and the resolution to 800x600 but this still occurs. So I'm beginning to wonder if it is an issue with the game rather than my computer..

Yeah I have that too...

Also at around 1960 the game crashed while the cpu was doing its turn causing the autosave to be deleted.

I'm going to not play the campaign until its fixed. The crashing and the stuttering of the map.

I don't have the game myself but from the previous comments it seems to be a common problem. It's possible that a disk defragmentation might help but that's doubtful, it's not like the hard drive needs to be accessed during the campaign map. It's probably an issue that will be fixed with a patch.

Yeah I get that. Also when I click on my ports the game screams to a halt for a few seconds. I wonder why it only happens when I click my ports. I want mah second rate.
