Anyone else getting this
Solid framrate of 84
Good net status. I mean not so much as a hiccup or twitch
BAD stutters from time to time.
By bad. I mean the screen moves in chunks like its pausing sometimes, your typical slushy stutter others.
And yet other times. none at all.
the entire time showing a FR of 75-84 and no net problems
Tried filming it but as usuall when there is an anomoly I want to film. It didnt happen.
Got to film a nice 5 kill flight in a Pony B though.

I know what you mean. Had that once... turned out to be sound related.
Check your sound card drivers, make sure they are up to date. Check dxdiag, make sure Hardware accelleration for Sound is turned to Standard (3/4).
Ingame settings, try to change the setting for "Use Wave In". Its under the PREFERENCES > Voice tab.
Also, i assume AV etc is turned off whle you play?

Try disabling skins and see if that cures the problem.

Did the rest.
Didnt think about "Wav In"will give that a shot too.
Normally I get stutters after a new revision comes out. Re installing the game seems to fix it. for some reason
This time its different

Will give it a shot later today or tonight
Hoping thats not it as I like and want the skins.
But assuming that is it.
whats the Fix for it?
More ram?
Faster CPU?
Running a 939 Anthlon 64 3200
and gig of ram now
Will another Gig fix it?
thanks Skuzzy

make sure your computer/video card is not overheating or straining for voltage or amperage
a hot box and low amps on my 12volt rail to my agp 7800 gs co gave me the stutters real bad

Computer is fine temp wise.
I almost hope its the Vid card as I really dont like this card (256 meg ATI Radeon 9550) but it was a gift from the wife so..... Well you know how that goes;)

Hehe, want help frying it? I killed a GC and an entire PC in the last few weeks :D.

I used a freeware program called SpeedFan to find out I had low 12vdc voltage and high temps

@dreidiock if your graphic card has a heatsinkfan maybe the cable slips of the plug... sure to fix your trouble
@eagler i dont trust any onboard sensors that report voltage or temp, woul check with an voltmeter or some other relyable means
@dreidiock what motherboard? mine has the x16pcie and the first pci slot on the same irq, while windows remaps the irqs it still wasnt smooth at all when i have soundcard or network card in that slot

Dred, there are now 402 skins in the game. Windows XP does not support enough RAM to have all the skins loaded.
Now, the skins only load when they need to, so it is doubtful you will ever be online long enough, in one session, to actually see all 400+ skins.
However, if you run into a batch of new skins on planes, I could see it causing a heck of a stutter while they load.
The best solution I can give you is to disable the background downloads, and then load only the skins you really want to see. If they are resident on your computer and skins are not disabled, the game will make use of them. If the skin is not present, you get the default one.

how do you "load only the skins you really want to see"?
do i actually have to see the plane for the skin to load or will it load anyways? I notice like with the sun, it loads each time I log on and look at it for the first time

I get a slight stutter now and then outside of AH. I get some when running movie files for the first time, exact same type as AH stutters. I get them in CS:S, but I've got that narrowed down to Valve porking their sound code repeatedly. I honestly don't know if there's anything wrong with my system, but I've got plenty of RAM, good processor, and okay GPU. I have minimal settings inside AH (default sliders), I have both optimizations, I have 512 textures, skins enabled (but not preloaded) and I'm getting some stutters.
It's the more recent lockups that have me worried.

Remove the skins resource (.res) files from the skins folder (default location C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II\skins). Remove the cache folders for all the planes in the cache folder.
Then download the individual skins (http://www.hitechcreations.com/download/dlsframe.html) from the downloads page. Disable the background downloading of skins in the hangar.
And that is it. It gives you control on what skins you want to see.

i WISH i could get frame rates that hi....highest i've seen so far is 35.....looking straight up and no other action going on......as low as 17 in furball on the deck.......this combined with my crappy aim, and flying a 38.......well......you all get the picture...............

Looks like the Wav in may have fixed it.
No or a should say. very few stutters in the last two days since I clicked it
(knock on wood)
good. I was hoping I didnt have to disable skins

Outstanding motherboard.
Have you tried Gigabytes "easy tune"?..its a free download from Gigabyte. On top of making overclocking effortless, it displays fan speeds, temps, voltages.. all kinds of nifty info you can use to track down issues.

I have 403 skins in my HTC AHII skins file & I get these stutters every once in a while. I did not however have wav in selected, I checked it & will see if that helps my stutters as well.

Yup I got it.
Actually I liked ASUS Probe Better
Couldnt OC there but I coud in the BIOS easy enough
Probe was better for monitoring temps.
Since you have it.
How the hell do you access smartfan and CIA MB? features?
They wont open for me
