When you say movement, do you mean moving the camera, or game movement (like troop movement)? Those close in views are so useful I have a hard time not zooming way in or close to the ground.
I'm trying to find a good balance between graphic fidelity and how much it crashes - seems like it crashes less when you have things turned waaaay down. I ran it with literally everything off or at the lowest settings and at 1024x576 (correct aspect ratio for this machine) and I managed to get through a campaign scenario without freezing (camera in low and close a lot). How do you have your video settings... set?
I'm really bummed with this situation! I last played Combat Mission with Barbarossa to Berlin in 2012 and am so excited to come back to Combat Mission, but this is making it really difficult to enjoy... It can be brutal to play with really low video settings!
