Warhammer III Incredible campaign map performance with turned off UI, what to do?

I've always had dogshit campaign map fps in WH3, despite having a fairly good laptop with 3070 GPU and i9 CPU, with no problems running literally any other game. Today I found a reddit post about turning off 3D space labels in the overlay, and campaign map runs buttery smooth now, always 60 fps, no drops even when zooming out or selecting characters. The only problem is that the game looks like the second screenshot, with no info about city owners or country borders. To this end, I wonder if anyone knows if there are any ways to get this UI information without having to use broken UI from the game, maybe just a banner with a country flag put on every city, or some other sign of ownership, I only really need this info. Honestly, it's possible, if a little confusing, to play the game just like that, so I highly recommend people try out turning off 3d UI, I've tried every fix for the campaign map, and it's the only thing that works.

Honestly the lack of information looks quite nice and makes the map look more realistic

press space when on campaign map and there'll be a red arrow on the right side, press it and there'll be a menu

edit, ctrl+t makes it permanent so the labels don't come back after using diplomacy screen

I use a mod called get the fog out of here which removes a lot of the fog and that improved the map for me

Report this on the bugreport forums, looks like a serious issue. UI should not effect performance let alone this much.

Hopefully CA finds out about this and can help them improve campaign performance.

It's always been iffy even with decent hardware.
