Before I did this even with today's patch the game was unplayable...
I went went into control panel and updated my soundcard with the new microsoft drivers..
Then I did the same with my processor and bus host controllers...
Now when I got into the game I just sat in the tower at first in F3.. No stuttering!!!!
Then I looked for a furball .....

No stuttering...
I only played for 15 min before I posted is but it was 15 min of bliss.....
