  I just tried it,but for some reason the page that gives the detailed terrain option was spinning around the clipboard and I couldnt click the box to enable it. I dont use pan I use instant view.

  I've had it happen before,but for some reason today it wouldnt stop spining. By spinning I mean it shows the second page of the clipboard attached at the top corner, but it rotates from that corner,in staggered fashion.

  I didnt see a stutter when I tested, but the clipboard page spin was not right.

Don't have time to run the test right now, but I'm pretty sure I know what is causing the stuttering on my game. Keep in mind, my PC is new, it can run Crysis, Far cry 2, call of duty 4 etc. with the highest graphics settings. On AH I have AA on max, 1024 texture, and all of the graphic settings maxed out except for smooth shadow, and I get 60 FR. When I turn on smooth shadow, my FR drop to 45 and I get stuttering. So I'm willing to bet that smooth shadow is causing some problems...

I have a photographic memory. The only problem is that sometimes I forget to take off the lens cap.

I get micro stutters still with detailed terrain my frame rate jumps all over as well i have seen it go to 59 down to 20. I have amd dual core.

Without detailed still micro stutters. It crashes out a lot as well. I noticed that when I talk and there's a lot going on is when it crashes.

I just spent a couple of hours on and it seems to be working much better for me.  Detailed terrain and water with bump, a very minimal of stutters and almost none on the view hat switch.  Still have some frame rate issues, but I'm not that sure that the FR problems are more related to my computer and running processes.

Thanks Hitech!

1. Yes
2. No
3. No
4. No

Flying online with G-Detail off I still get a slight stutter so I'm unsure if I'm looking at 2 problems (one being with my PC I mean). I'll try more testing and if I find a problem will let you know.

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
Memory: 1022MB RAM
Card Radeon X1650 Series (256MB)



Looks fixed for me

Just retested and got
1.No
2.No
3.No
4.No

I still get a slight stutter occasionally but I strongly suspect that is down to my machine and an I/O problem I'm trying  to diagnose.

Thanks

Please do all these first test off line with ndisles terrain.

1. Go into the tower at, I.E. it is the default. And lower clip board.
     Wait about 15 secs doing nothing. Now look right, Did the View stutter as it paned around?

Yes

2. Release the right view ,after you have been looking forward,  look right again, was there stuttering this time?

Yes

3. Turn off detail terrain, Save it by pressing ok, Exit game , then repeat test 1 and 2.

NO

4. Fly online with detail terrain OFF for a while, did almost all you stuttering go away?

YES , was getting around it (until today with TT Terrain) with a Hard Boot.
This series of actions seemed to have cleared it up even with Detailed terrain re-enabled.


I do this with a Fresh Reboot and it works 80% of the Time.
I've had two instances where the game locked up when I selected "Detailed Water" & tried to go Online.
I re-ran the process and game started up with no ill effects.
I've also had a couple of instances where I had to run the process (outlined above by HT) two or three times or until I rebooted.

Today I was getting 125FPS with no stutters in BigTrinity and Fur allover.
Just follow the instructions and there will be a fix ASAP.
