only alternative is to open the map (m-key)
and left-click for a new location.

There is a file 'sowwl.ini' in your 'documents\SowWL' folder with a parameter named 'camfwdspeed'.
It was set to 100, but i changed it to '999' and my forward camera is now racing over the battlefield.
Worth a try.

Ensure that in your Nvidia Control Panel the Preferred Graphics Processor is set to High Performance NVIDIA Processor.

Open the Nvidia Control Panel and locate Manage 3D Settings. Change, in both Global and Program, the Preferred Graphics Processor to High Performance NVIDIA Processor

without a report to look at it's hard to say apart from guess

How to get a DxDiag report file:

1. Click on "START" (on Windows 8 press “Windows key” and the “R” key at the same time)
2. Click "run" (skip this step on Windows 8 )
3. Type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. Check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. Click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments (zip) rather than pasted into the body of the post.

cmudaxp.sys is not digitally signed

cmudaxp.sys is not digitally signed

both sound drivers, check for a updated one (Date and Size: 02.06.2015) so old Description: G³oœniki (ASUS Xonar DGX Audio Device)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970

Display Memory: 12227 MB
Dedicated Memory: 4058 MB
Shared Memory: 8168 MB

go into your Bios at start up and disable shared memory for card, it's not needed.

you also have quite a few windows errors below,

---------------
Diagnostics
---------------

Windows Error Reporting:

is it an upgrade? or a clean install of windows 10?

a clean install fixes almost everything apart from drivers unless it finds better ones, a upgrade from an older version of windows can take across errors.

pc is more than powerful enough to work 100% with game, so for me error is in windows / install etc, not pc hardware

why disable shared memory for card?

the reason is simple, you don't need it, and it's also slower.

Memory: 16384MB RAM installed in your pc, with 1/2 being shared to your vga, which imo (in my opinion) is a waste, i'll give you the easy bit to explain my reasons and choices...

Display Memory: 12227 MB
Dedicated Memory: 4058 MB
Shared Memory: 8168 MB

your vga card is a GTX 970 which uses 4GB of GDDR5 memory, or will do if you only use this, if you use shared memory it's down graded to the slower part, which is system memory, which is what? DDR4 or even 3, which slows down the speed on which the GPU gets the information, that's why normally it uses the fastest and why good cards come with GDDR5 memory in the first place and makes it cost a premium price, second 4GB is more than plenty as you only use 1920 x 1080 as shown in your report.

next windows 10, while it will work with 8GB of ram, it likes more, so limiting it with less isn't or doesn't make much sense, no game at 1920 x 1080 will use more, or if it does, the drop off from slower memory regarding it's use and and any extra FPS will be null and void compared to the loss of the use to the O/S imo.

will it make any difference to the game and error above, i'd guess not also, and if it's a new fresh install, then you have something else which is causing the slow down, so for me, either it's the background apps you run, or the amount etc, easy way to check this is make a gaming profile or use safemode, which limits the amount of apps running at start up so you can check if it's a software or hardware issue.

stuff to check for or ask yourself, what is slowing the pc down so much?

for me, find out what Anti virus you use and disable it, unplug from the net while you do it, and see if it runs any better.

use a clean profile on each boot, or a cleaner profile, so more resources are free for windows to use, as the less background apps you have running on each boot, the better windows will run and also will be quicker, so both help games...

one of my pc's at a boot, with a cleaner profile, almost the same spec as your's with no game errors
