If you dont own the total war: shogun 2 game skip this step. This sets your graphics to settings that should work for you. Go to %AppData%\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts Open the preferences.script.txt copy all the parameters starting with gfx_ Go to %AppData%\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\scripts Open the preferences.script.txt delete all parameters starting with gfx_ , paste in the parameters you copies from shogun 2 Step 2. If you skipped step 1 , i would recommend starting the game and lowering graphics setting to medium/high, disabling Alpha for vegetation. Also note the VRAM it shows you in the graphics options advanced. (mine says 976 MB) Exit the game. The source of the lag is the enabled use unlimited graphics memory in graphics settings, basically causing too much swapping between Graphics RAM and system RAM. Go to %AppData%\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\scripts Open the preferences.script.txt change the two lines below. gfx_video_memory 1572864000; # gfx_video_memory , Override available video memory (bytes) # gfx_unlimited_video_memory false; # gfx_unlimited_video_memory , Enable unlimited video memory allocation # save. Note:you should set gfx_video_memory to 1.5*VRAM*1024*1024 , this allows you to use 50% more VRAM than what you have. Note:In my testing setting gfx_video_memory to 2*VRAM*1024*1024 or enabling unlimited video memory brings back the lag. Step 3.restart game . test and if your lag is gone , increase the graphics settings.
