Open Combat lag/battle-sizer prob & how to reassign keys?

[blinky182]

Viking Conquest Reforged, vanilla steam version (presumably the latest one).... couple of probs crippling gameplay for me...

1. battle sizer/changer (in game, and downloaded mod thingy) doesnt seem to work? in notepad it just says 0.0000 - is it possible to go lower than 150?
2. cant change/force-change keys of the game? just trying to change the traits key as i use this for commands instead of the f keys.

my system:
win10 lenovo laptop, shared graphics unfortunately, but 500mb shoudl be enough for smaller battles surely?!
AMD A12-9700P RADEON R7, 10 COMPUTE CORES 4C+6G 2.50 GHz
12.0 GB (11.4 GB usable)
64-bit operating system, x64-based processor


i play on warband native (captain battle server) a fair bit, so am comparing it to that, and i dont suffer so much on that but still occasionally combat lag similar to above, mind this could also just be server lag (at random times).

any advice welcomed,
cheers

"You can flip a global variable in the saved game file, or you can use the VC Balance Mod's optional script to rotate through them."

or how does one do this?

thanks in advance
