After the new patch, i have this very anoying
stuttering. My framerates are between 30 and 100 so that is not the fault.

=========================================
I have a similar problem, Kris, but it
usually doesn't develop until I man a TG
gun or vehilcle. The stuttering occurs both
online and offline and seems to get
progressively worse, until it reaches a point
where I am no longer able to continue
playing...mouse input is VERY slow, as are
keyboard inputs...sound from gunfire stutters
and lasts several seconds...
Yesterday, after having manned a panzer and
noticed the problem starting to occur I went
back to flying a B-26. After and engagement
my opponent said I was warping badly. In
light of this I think that there must be some
AH-induced process(s) sucking up CPU time
and causing the processes that SHOULD be
running to have to wait. Wish I could get
some dynamic data on what's using CPU time
while I'm still in AH.
I'm running:
PIII-600 Mhz, 128 MB system memory
Creative SB Live
Creative TNT2 32MB AGP video card
1.5Mb DSL connection
USB mouse
TM FCS & WCSII, Rudder Pedals
I was running DX7.0a and updated to DX8.0
I have loaded the latest drivers for the
SB Live sound card and the 650 drivers for
the TNT2 card.
Frame rates displayed are between 28-50.
Even after I quit AH, the stuttering
continues to affect my system. When I
open RealPlayer and then invoke any other
application the sound stutters...I have
to re-boot to eliminate the problem.
I have not seen this sort of behavior with
any other application I run...it is most
definately AH specific and I feel is somehow
related to ACK puffs, tracers, water splashes
and other effects since the system slowdown
definately becomes worse when these events
occur...
The progressive nature of the problem seems
to indicate that something is sucking up
system resources and not releasing them
although when I ALT-TAB out nothing out of
the ordinary shows up in and available
system information that I look at.
