Title: New Install - Windows XP
Post by: FlakVest on April 15, 2003, 05:42:21 PM

Guys I'm a noob to this game.  Just downloaded and installed AH and went in to single play mode just to mess around.  One thing I noticed was while flying, the game at times would get really jerky fr a second or 2 and then get smooth.  Computer is p4/533 2.5ghz. 512 mb ram, gf4 ti4600, xp pro.  I have all the latest drivers for my system, including the latest nvidia drivers.  All erroneous services have been disabled, and I even turned my AV software off to see if it was interfering but it still does the same thing.  Any ideas?

sounds like a sound issue.

turn down hardware sound acceleration a notch.

control panel -->
sounds and audio devices-->
audio-->
soundplayback(default device)-->
advanced audio properties (advance..)-->
performance-->
audio playback (hardware accleration)-->
drop slider back a notch from full.

it sounds more complicated than it is.

that should fix you right up.

Ok , I knocked it down a notch and still the same results.  I did notice that even when I'm in the tower I get jerkiness on the mouse pointer.  I think I forgot to mention that I'm using SB Audigy.

I use the same sound card....I don't have any issues. What version directx are you using? And make sure you dont have any irq conflicts...Start-----programs------accessories----system tools----system info and check and see if your sound card is on the same irq as say, your video card

Negative.  Actually I think I solved it.  Installed DX9 and the problem seems to have vanished.  Thanks everyon for your input.
