I am getting this same stutter tonight. First night I've noticed it, no changes made to computer set up. Haven't played a lot recently (around 2 hrs this tour) but I was playing sunday night I think and this wasn't happening. Mic is muted in sound set up and not selected in recording set up. I did install ah voice tonight, but I was logged in once with it running and once without and noticed it both times.
Any suggestions? It looks like a lot of people are experiencing this tonight. It is weird that it would be a latency issue that would cause a frame rate drop with it.
I did notice that it seems related to the size of the plane being drawn on the screen, possibly when it makes a switch to a more detailed model (I'm speculating about that) because it happens around d350 but if I'm zoomed in (most of the way with the [] keys) it'll happen around d700. So far I've just noticed it with planes from other countries but I haven't gotten close enough to any friendlies to know if the same would happen.
Here are my system specs:
AMD 1.2ghz T-Bird
Epox 8K7A MB
512MB PC2100
Inno3d Geforce 2 Pro Graphics Card
3Com Ethernet Adapter connected to cable modem. (not on dial up)
Windows ME
TIA,
