Author Topic: Successful temporary fix for some stutter issues (Read 865 times)

Several players, AKAK, Ramair, Shubie and myself have had excellent luck with a temporary fix for the stutters that seem to relate to a cache issue.

Basically, When you start AH2, look at the planes and vehicles in the hanger. Also look at any individual skins for the planes/ vehicles.

Then after thats done - you should be good to go.

You'll have to do this each time you play ah2 if you turn off your PC in between..

Anyway, If you have some stutters, try it. If it helps post report.

Anyone figure out a way to load the caches to a ramdisk and use that instead of disk access. This would eliminate them all-together.

Why can't they be loaded directly to the video card memory ?

Worked for me in the most cases. Can't say that they are gone completely but it's obviously not a problem any more.
Thanks a lot!

What type sound do you guys use??

Hyrax81st · « **Reply #9 on:** July 15, 2004, 12:36:45 PM »

Card is SB Audigy 2. I have hardware acceleration set to 75% as suggested in other threads.

I swear I did not submit that reply 3x! lol

Seems some folks with sound cards are having the same trouble as us folk w/ onboard sound..

at 75% sound acceleration, do you still have any stutters??

SB PCI 128 sound card, 3/4 accel all around. What's RAMDisk?

ps: Waffle's new idea worked so well, I not only use it, I bought the... er, well, you get the idea. Thanks for the tip Waffle.

HTC guys, any guesses on this one?

On board sound.

SBPCI 512 here, need the analog port for controls and the onboard sound had some issues. (kept progressively losing sound after sound in AH until I was flyin silent and had no vox)

set to 75%.

Everthing seems to be workin very well right now.

Note: had a problem hitting. Would fire and see hits but no results or totally miss???

Sound loop lockup that forced me to reset/reboot probably/possibly corrupted the com to server protion of my AH front end.

Note this also seemed to happened with AHI from time to time. Think it's my system (W98se).

Fix seems to be, for me anyways, remove (with add remove programs in control panel) and reinstall AH. Right after doing this went from usin all my ammo for MAYBE 1 kill to 5 and 8 kill sorties.

Now when I see hits parts fall off and planes go down.

hubsonfire - a ramdisk is an area of memory reserved to act as hard disk. Therefore lightning fast load times, ergo no stutters (theoretically). Just a shame that Windows ramdisks are fixed sizes and don't grow and shrink like the Amigas one used to.
